The historical and theological schism between Judaism and Christianity traces its origins to the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth, a figure born into the Jewish tradition yet whose teachings and claims precipitated a profound rupture. Jesus, recognized by Christians as the promised Messiah foretold in Hebrew scriptures, preached a message of divine love, repentance, and fulfillment of God's covenant to his fellow Jews. However, his assertions of divinity and critiques of religious authorities, particularly the Pharisees, led to widespread rejection among many in the Jewish community. This rejection culminated in his trial and crucifixion under Roman authority, an event Christians attribute to betrayal by Jewish leaders and elements of the populace who failed to recognize him as the incarnation of Yahweh. The resurrection of Jesus, a cornerstone of Christian faith, marked the inception of Christianity as a distinct path for those who accepted him as the divine Savior.
