I don't claim to have the final answer to this question.
Possibly, this term comes from the fact that Christianity
is built on Jewish tradition.  Christianity does not try 
to improve on this tradition and teaching.

It is very difficult for some Christians to accept the fact
that Christ was in fact Jewish.  One hundred percent, to the
last punctuation mark of the law.  As people lose sight of
that, the various persecutions begin.  (And many things were
done in the name of Christ that were totally wrong.  It is 
a shame that people pervert the Word of God.)

It is quite interesting, in the past year of teaching Sunday
School, 3 months were spent on the Gospels, and 9 months were
spent in the Old Testament.  (We are now using material written
by Concordia Publishing House, but the ratio seems to be about
the same for David Cook as well.)  It seems that the traditions
and teachings of the Old Testament are becoming more important
to Christians all the time.  I hope so.
