Border Lines The partition of Judaeo-Christianity Daniel Boyarin - U.S.A. University of Pennsylvania Press 2004 - 374tr. Paperback, illustrations 25cm

The historical separation between Judaism and Christianity is often figured as a clearly defined break of a single entity into two separate religions. Following this model, there would have been one religion known as Judaism before the birth of Christ, which then took on a hybrid identity. Even before its subsequent division, certain beliefs and practices of this composite would have been identifiable as Christian or Jewish. In Border Lines, however, Daniel Boyarin makes a case for a very different way of thinking about the historical development that is the partition of Judaeo-Christianity.
