<P> Law professor Stephen M. Feldman looking at the period before 1950, chiefly in Europe, sees religious conflict as supersessionism: </P> <P> Once one recognizes that Christianity has historically engendered antisemitism, then this so - called tradition appears as dangerous Christian dogma (at least from a Jewish perspective). For Christians, the concept of a Judeo - Christian tradition comfortably suggests that Judaism progresses into Christianity--that Judaism is somehow completed in Christianity . The concept of a Judeo - Christian tradition flows from the Christian theology of supersession, whereby the Christian covenant (or Testament) with God supersedes the Jewish one . Christianity, according to this myth, reforms and replaces Judaism . The myth therefore implies, first, that Judaism needs reformation and replacement, and second, that modern Judaism remains merely as a "relic". Most importantly the myth of the Judeo - Christian tradition insidiously obscures the real and significant differences between Judaism and Christianity . </P> <P> Advocates of the term "Abrahamic religion" since the second half of the 20th century have proposed a hyper - ecumenicism that emphasizes not only Judeo - Christian commonalities but that would include Islam as well (the rationale for the term "Abrahamic" being that while only Christianity and Judaism give the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) the status of scripture, Islam does also trace its origins to the figure of Abraham as the "first Muslim"). </P> <P> Advocates of this umbrella term consider it the "exploration of something positive" in the sense of a "spiritual bond" between Jews, Christians, and Muslims . </P>
