Between 1971 and 1996 the late John Howard Yoder (1927-1997) wrote a series of ten essays revisiting
the Jewish-Christian schism in which he argued that, properly understood, Jesus did not reject Judaism, Judaism did not reject Jesus, and the Apostle Paul's universal mandate for the salvation of the nations is best understood not as a product of Hellenization, but rather in the context of his Jewish heritage.
This posthumous collection of essays is arguably his most ambitious project and displays Yoder's original thesis that the Jewish-Christian schism “did not have to be.” Originally published in 2003 by SCM Press and Eerdmans.
