“Parting of the Ways” – A Problematic Metaphor

Author(s)

Markus Tiwald, Markus Oehler

Abstract

In the last decade, the question of the so-called “parting of the ways” between “Jews” and “Christians” has become one of the most crucial topics of New Testament exegesis. Today, most scholars would agree that the “parting of the ways” did not occur in one place at a specific time but was a long process that took place in different locations at different times and for different reasons, not concluding before the fourth century. This book represents a collection of papers presented at a conference convened in Vienna (Austria) in 2022 and consists of five main chapters: Jewish Identity and the Parting of the Ways, The Apostle Paul, The Gospels, Non-Canonical and Patristic Texts, Systematic-Theological Considerations Concerning the Parting of the Ways.
