User talk:Abel M Bibliowicz

Bibliowicz has authored several monographs on the origins of Christian anti‑Judaism and the evolution of Jewish–Christian relations in antiquity. His books are held in academic libraries internationally and are catalogued in major bibliographic databases such as WorldCat and Google Books.

Bibliowicz’s work suggests that Jewish-Christian relations stand on a complex trajectory that originates in a Jewish-Gentile crisis within the Jesus movement, between Jewish and Gentile followers of Jesus (not between Christians and Jews). This crisis erupted onto the surface following the Jewish War of 70 C.E. but originated in earlier tensions within the Jesus movement. The thesis explores the context, background and intent of the authors of the Gospels and later texts. These texts, written after Paul's ministry, do not describe, for the most part, the historical reality of the birth and first decades of belief in Jesus; they were crafted to promote theological and sectarian agendas relevant to later audiences. It also suggests that Jewish-Christian Relations emerge from later misperceptions about this conflict among followers of Jesus with varying degrees of Jewish, Pagan, and Gnostic affinities, affiliations, and inclinations. It further suggests that the origins of anti-Judaism are to be found in a later loss of this context and in the projection, onto Judaism, of the polemic that accompanied the debates about what traditions and beliefs should ground belief in Jesus, and the drive of the Gentile followers of Jesus to be recognized as the legitimate and authoritative custodians of Jesus´ legacy and movement.

Bibliowicz’s work has been noted by scholars in New Testament studies, early Christian history, theology, Jewish–Christian relations in the first centuries, Christian origins, and on the origins of anti‑Judaism. Academic reviewers and endorsers have commented extensibly on the originality of his thesis and its implications for understanding early Christian identity formation. The Society of Biblical Literature 2023 Global Meeting included a review panel session dedicated to "The Bibliowicz Thesis."
