What is " the standard story of Christians and Jews"?

Now I’m reading “Decoding God’s Changling Moods” in time.com, the full article you can find here:

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1902851-2,00.html

and I can’t understand the phrase in the 1st paragraph on that page: “ the standard story of Christians and Jews”.
What does that mean?
What’s the differences between ” monotheism ” and “the standard story of Christians and Jews”, why say they are contrary to each other?
Thank you!
