Summary
"This examination of the sacred literature of early Christianity introduces the literature and world of the early followers of Jesus. Besides exploring fundamental issues such as the relationship between history and faith, the place of critical methodology, the transmission of the New Testament writings, the historical context of early Christianity, and the formation of the canon, Early Christianity and Its Sacred Literature looks at writings, personalities, and issues outside the New Testament. More than sixty color pictures by noted photographer Richard Cleave enhance the more than fifty black and white images, maps, and charts."--Jacket.
