What the last search found
The panel did not agree. Rabbinic Judaism, characterized by the Mishnah (compiled c. 200 CE), Gemara, Talmud, and classical Midrashim, developed and was codified in the centuries following the time of Jesus Christ. Standard references support that Mishnah, Gemara/Talmud, and Midrash are products of late Second Temple and post-70 CE rabbinic Judaism, which is later than Jesus. The gap is that 'Judaism as a rabbinic religion' is a simplification: Judaism did not begin then, but rabbinic Judaism did develop after the Common Era began. Outside mainstream endorsement: Historical-critical scholarship acknowledges that Rabbinic literature as a distinct text-based religious system developed in late antiquity following the destruction of the Second Temple.
