Since It Was First Published In Hebrew In , This Provocative Book Has Been Garnering Acclaim And Stirring Controversy For Its Bold Reinterpretation Of The Relationship Between Judaism And Christianity In The Middle Ages, Especially In Medieval Europe Looking At A Remarkably Wide Array Of Source Material, Israel Jacob Yuval Argues That The Inter Religious Polemic Between Judaism And Christianity Served As A Substantial Component In The Mutual Formation Of Each Of The Two Religions He Investigates Ancient Jewish Passover Rituals Jewish Martyrs In The Rhineland Who In Killed Their Own Children Christian Perceptions Of Those Ritual Killings And Events Of The Year , When Jews In Northern France And Germany Expected The Messiah To Arrive Looking Below The Surface Of These Key Moments, Yuval Finds That, Among Other Things, The Impact Of Christianity On Talmudic And Medieval Judaism Was Much Stronger Than Previously Assumed And That A Rejection Of Christianity Became A Focal Point Of Early Jewish Identity Two Nations In Your Womb Will Reshape Our Understanding Of Jewish And Christian Life In Late Antiquity And Over The Centuries
Yuval has taken heat for the honesty of this book because he gets outside the sadly ongoing polemics between Judaism and Christianity His thesis is that much of what comprises current practice in Rabbinic Judaism is a response to Christianity He carefully traces many threads through the inner dialogue of Jewish writings in Antiquity and Medieval times.
