Vines Intertwined: A History of Jews and Christians from the Babylonian Exile to the Advent of Islam (2010) is a book by Leo Duprée Sandgren.

Abstract

"Recognizing that Judaism and Christianity are what they are because of each other and were not formed in isolation, Sandgren provides readers and researchers with a comprehensive generation-by-generation political history of the Jews--from the fall of the First Temple and the Babylonian Exile through the rise of Christianity out of Judaism--to the conquest of Jerusalem by Muslim Arabs and the rise of Christianity out of Judaism, to the point where both are fully defined against each other at the start of the Middle Ages."--Publisher description.
