The focus of the New Testament is a first-century Jew, Jesus of Nazareth. It was (largely) written by Jews, and much of its original audience was Jewish.

What were the range of Jewish reactions to this collection once Judaism and Christianity were viewed as separate, and often-competing, religions?
