The Historical Divide Between Judaism and Christianity For millions of people, there is a presumed divide between Judaism and Christianity. Sure, they are both monotheistic and trace their origins back to Abraham, but many assume these groups have little else in common. There has also been a significant amount of hostility between the adherents of these two religions, from the ugly history of "Christian" antisemitism to the relatively minor angst many Jews express in the face of Christian evangelism (aka "proselytizing"). These realities spark a provocative question: Are Christians worshiping the "Messiah" promised to the Jewish people?
