- Summary:
- How wide a range of ideas was used by early Christians to proclaim redemption through Jesus Christ? What did the followers of Jesus do about concepts of shame, death, suffering, forgiveness, and friendship? And how did their beliefs relate to the lives and thoughts of actual persons in the Graeco-Roman world including women? Author J. Massyngbaerde Ford opens a new vista on the ancient world of Bible times.
