Neither Jesus, nor his apostles, not even Paul, sought to found another religion alongside that of Israel, which they wanted to renew in line with its messianic fulfillment. Nevertheless, through the two Jewish wars against the Roman Empire (70 and 135 AD), the Church detached itself from the Jewish people and a self-referential Christianity wanted it to replace them – without really succeeding – as the people of God.
But today, the current relations of trusting partnership between Jews and Christians allow the attempt that this book attempts: to revisit with serenity and benevolence the dramatic history of a tear which saw both the mutation of Judaism with the end of the Second Temple and the birth of the Church of the 1st in the 3rd century century. Their detachment represents a tear that led to recurring persecutions for the Jews, dramatically marking Western history for centuries.
