Don’t believe everything you hear in BBC documentaries

In a recent BBC documentary, Story of the Jews, we are told:

Born a Jew, like his saviour, was Paul who, within a few years of Jesus’ death began the process of liberating Christianity from the claims of Jewish ritual.  Christianity was either universal or it was nothing.  So Paul aggressively de-Judaizes the Christian message and there was no surer way of doing that than insisting on the divinity of Jesus.  That violated the first supreme principle of Judaism which was the indivisible oneness of God.  Echad.  Two: “Father and son” had Jews scratching their beards.  Three: “The holy spirit”.  Why not five?

See this blog post by Dr. Mark Goodacre of Duke University for the many things wrong with this paragraph.
