• Christianity is considered by Christians to be the continuation or fulfilment of the Jewish faith. ... Furthermore, present-day liberal Protestant Christians do not define Christianity as necessarily including belief in the deity of Jesus, the virgin birth, the Trinity, miracles, the resurrection, the ascension of Christ, or the personality or deity of the Holy Spirit. Liberals may or may not recommend belief in such things, but differentiate themselves from Fundamentalist Christians by defining as included within genuine Christianity anyone who explains their views or teachings principally by appeal to Jesus.

Skeptics, however, point out that it was Gentiles, not Jews, who embraced and eventually dominated Christianity, which suggests that Gentiles were much readier to believe in stories like the resurrection. ...
