The "founder" of Christianity was an Orthodox Jew who preceded the new religion by 200 years.
Rabbi Efrem Goldberg shares his knowledge of the origins of Christianity and its relationship to the Jews. The Jews who embraced early Christianity were still Jews and soon the majority of Christians were from the ranks of the surrounding pagan peoples. The history of Christian/Jewish relations has often been violent; Rabbi Goldberg explains the reasons and motivations behind the enmity.
