Abstract:
Based partly on the Gospels and Acts, concludes that had the Jewish war of 66-70 CE against Rome not ended with the destruction of the Temple (for which Perkins, following Josephus, blames the Judean fanatics) Christianity would not have developed in an anti-Jewish vein. Rather it would have remained a Jewish movement. The destruction of the main symbol of Jewish faith, however, was taken as proof of Divine rejection of the Jews, who rejected Jesus as the Messiah. The Christians also distanced themselves politically from the Jews and aligned themselves with Rome, the triumphant enemy of the Jews.
