By harvesting the anti-Jewish-establishment lore of Judean sectarians, these authors gathered an assortment of ‘off-the-shelf’ rhetorical arrows that they could harness to argue for the demotion of the establishment of the Jesus movement. This collection of polemical tools included arguments originally deployed by Jewish sectarians against the Judean establishment (you have lost God’s favor, we are God’s new chosen, we are the New Israel, we embody a new covenant, the Temple and the priesthood are defiled and no longer authoritative, etc.…). However, contrary to Judean sectarians who used this rhetoric to reform Judaism, proto-orthodox Gentiles wanted to eradicate Judaism from the Jesus movement. This inclined them to de-contextualize, expand, and intensify the appropriated polemic.
