- Offener Anfang (Open beginnings. The Making of Christianity in the 2nd century) is a revolutionary book as it goes against the longstanding scholarly tradition to locate the beginnings of Christianity in the first century. The monographs argues that Christians regarded themselves largely as Jews until the end of the second Jewish war (135/138 CE), and that only the political, cultural and social challenge of this war pushed for a rethinking of identities which subsequently and only after many centuries drove Christians and Jews apart to an extend that two different religions were created.
