True Christianity isn't a religion, it is about a relationship with God. It is based on the death of Jesus being a suitable sacrifice for sin so Jesus is the cornerstone of Christian belief.
Christianity developed after Jesus' death. Through the guidance of the Holy Spirit the word of Jesus' death burial and ressurection was spread throughout the world.
True Christianity is about entering into a covenant to accept God as one's God and to faithful keep this covenant which including obeying God as one God. Jesus of Nazareth is the Messenger of this Covenant that all must enter into when accepting God as one's God. That is basis for true Christian to begin having a love and faith based relationship with the Creator God. The primary mission of Jesus of being born as man was to institute this Covenant as its mediator. This Jesus did by offering himself as the Lamb of God in the Passover Covenant, dying to pay the penalty of humankind's sin.

How did Jews influence the development of Christianity as as new religion?
First of all: Of all mankind, it was the Jews that were entrusted with God's words; and putting them down in written form. Rom 3:2 "it was the Jews to whom God's messages were entrusted" (JB Philips)Of interest: It was only Hebrews who were used to pen all the books in The Bible; no non-Jews contributed to it. Even the NT was penned by Christians that were natural Jews; no Gentiles were used.The rest of mankind should appreciate their role in this most important product.Also: It was from among the Jews, that Christ Jesus the Messiah came. This was in keeping with God's promise to Abraham.Even though the Jewish nation never recognized Christ Jesus as the promised Messiah; never-the-less the Jews had a preliminary role, towards the development of Christianity as a new religion.Perhaps this is where their influence ends; and from Jesus time forward, it was Jesus who had the major influence in the development of Christianity; due to his teachings and his way-of-life.
