Discussion 1

• How is this early group of Christians still very much Jewish? In what ways are they different from traditional Jews? In what ways are they the same? Make sure to be specific and use examples from the lessons. How did these Christians view Jesus and how did it relate to their Jewish background? What kinds of things did Jesus teach that were different than traditional Judaism? What things did Jesus say that made him suspect among both Jews and Romans?
