>>7937804This dichotomy of Jewish and European spirituality is inaccurate from a Christian religious perspective and from a historical perspective. There were three important players in the genesis of Christianity: the Jews, Greeks, and Romans.
By the Middle Ages, it was understood that all peoples had a unique relationship with God and place in His design. The Jews were chosen because they had to know God before rejecting Him while incarnated as one of their own.
The Greeks were given philosophy so that it would enable understanding of Christ after transmission through Hellenic conquest. A secular person may instead suggest that the ministry of Jesus was syncretic and incorporated elements of Greek philosophy.
When St. Paul traveled the Roman Empire to spread the teachings of Christ in Jewish synagogues, he found himself routinely expelled. When he was thrown out of the temples, he preached to gentiles in the streets. The resulting pockets of converts would grow until Christianity became politically expedient for Constantine I.
A faction of early Jewish converts, the Judaizers, believed that gentile Christians should follow the Law of Moses and adopt Jewish custom. However, the Apostolic Council rejected this idea as erroneous; the Law of Moses was a covenant between God and the Jews, and thus was specific to them. Only moral principles were relevant to gentiles.
Christianity was always intended to be a universal religion, developed and spread under a global empire -- the Roman Empire -- as God intended. To the minimal extent that it could be considered racial, however, it would be European; if Europeans did not influence Christianity through influence on Jesus, they shaped Christianity by adopting, maintaining, and expounding upon it.
