I took Matthew's post to be speaking from the POV of a Christian 
theology to the exclusion of others.
Albeit, it must be admitted that his characterization was originally 
defined by Jews who happened to believe that Jesus was the Jewish 
promised savior.

And, as I was instructed by an Orthodox Jew, modern Judaism was born in 
the 2nd century to continue Jewish traditions in absence of a Temple and 
in conscious response to Christians.
