When Did Christianity and Judaism Part Ways?

The video explores the complex relationship between early Christianity and Judaism, highlighting that Christianity began as a Jewish sect. It discusses how early Christians, like Ignatius, used terms like 'Christianity' to define orthodoxy and heresy rather than separate religions. Daniel Boyarin's perspective is introduced, emphasizing that religious identity in antiquity was based on practice as much as belief. The video also compares different early Christian groups, such as the Ebionites and Marcionites, and discusses the gradual partitioning within Judaism, which led to the eventual distinction between the two religions.
