faith-the Jew first‚ but the Greek also”-Romans 1:16. Many people support the case that Judaism and Christianity had to diverge due to the new introduction of Christ and the early works of Paul. This is an error and this paper seeks to demonstrate that Romans is best seen as the piece of literature that bridges the gaps between all the books we read‚ and therefore there split of Judaism and Christianity was unnecessary.
