I think it had to be Judaic reform, since the Talmud basically turned the Torah upside down, and Jesus was a classicalist more than anything, in that he wanted the Torah to reclaim its prominence. The Pharisees were crucial in the creation of the Babylonian Talmud and were seen as corrupters; heck, they still are. Why else do you think the Pharisees put pressure on Pilate to off him??? He was undermining them. The same is true of Islam, it was seen at the time as a reform of Judaism, the intention was never a separate religion, and the source document for both Christianity and Islam is the Torah.
Adam, Eve, Noah, Lot, Moses, Abraham etc are in all three books of said monotheistic faiths. Judaism DOES believe in Jesus, he is the messiah, they just don't believe he arrived yet, and that Jesus was just an annoying Rabbi (the Talmud says some utterly disturbing things about him)
