The scholar Gabriele Boccaccini has pointed out that Jewish bricks do not mean that the house itself is Jewish. I can think of no better instance than the Church’s incorporation of the Hebrew Bible and yet it’s adoption of so different a trajectory. My interpretation of Boccaccini’s approach is that Christianity is a Judaic system bereft of Jewishness resulting in severe consequences. Dr. Boccaccini understands classical Judaism and classical Christianity to draw from common sources, broad ones perhaps, but common, nonetheless.
