Segal offers new insights into the origins of rabbinic Judaism and Christianity. These twin descendants of Hebrew heritage shared the same social, cultural, and ideological context--and the same minority status--in the first century CE. The separation between them fractured what remained of the shared symbolic life of Judea.
