Key Notes
To Romans, Paul's pitch is that Christianity divides Jews, pacifies their Messiah of war, and spiritually enslaves workers.
To Jewish leaders, the pitch is that Christianity universalizes Torah, elevates Jerusalem, and lets Jews work with Roman patriarchs.
Augustine's City of God is presented as the move that places the Catholic Church above the temporal Roman city.
