Statement
Reed criticizes the tendency (still in Marcel Simon) to treat late 'Jewish Christianity' as a fossilized form or stunted survival after a decisive parting. That narrative echoes heresiology: it minimizes and marginalizes evidence that varieties of belief and worship with Jesus and Torah could persist and even thrive beyond the apostolic age.
