Talk:List of converts to Christianity from Judaism

Conversion to Christianity
The Jewish Encyclopedia gives some statistics on conversion of Jews to Protestantism, Roman Catholicism, and Orthodox Christianity (which it calls "Greek Catholicism"). Some 2,000 European Jews converted to Christianity every year during the 19th century, but in the 1890s the number was running closer to 3,000 per year—1,000 in Austria Hungary (Galizian Poland), 1,000 in Russia (Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, and Lithuania), 500 in Germany (Posen), and the remainder in the English world.

Proposed merge with Modern converts to Christianity from Judaism
No purpose in having two separate overlapping lists. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 02:38, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Support, but don't bring over any names that have no inline sources, or are red-linked. These articles are supposed to be sourced lists of notable converts; no point in replicating the mess in other articles here. Jayjg (talk) 13:27, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh, no, absolutely not. I'd gut it like a fish first. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 13:28, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
 * That sounds good to me! Jayjg (talk) 15:41, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Judiciously pruned, removing redlinks except where there was an inter-language link or reference. Otherwise seems ready for a merge. Klbrain (talk) 19:42, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Early Christians
Shouldn’t Jesus himself, Saint Mary, and pretty much all the apostles count? Why doesn’t this page mention that Christianity originated as a branch of Judaism and that the first Christians were mostly Jewish? I💖平沢唯 (talk) 23:04, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
