Abstract

The first century AD is a very important period for the formation of rabbinic’s Judaism and Christianity. At that time, there was a separation between the Church and the Synagogue. This process was long and was marked by a good number of conflicts. First of all, the difference between two religions was a different understanding of the main pillars of the Second Temple Judaism, such as monotheism, the Law, the temple, election and covenant. However, it should be emphasised that in the centre of that conflict was the person of Jesus as the promised Messiah and the Son of God. It was the faith in Him that became the reason of the final separation.
