Summary:

Scholars of the Bible and of early modern history reconstruct the origins of British scholarship into early Christianity before it spread beyond Jews. Primarily they challenge the conventional notion that the field of study was initiated by F. C. Baur in his 1831 essay "Christ party," in light of the recent publication of a corrected text of John Toland's Nazarenus (1718). They set out the background of the Jewish origins of Christianity in English literature from Elizabeth I to Nazarenus, examine Toland's work, and trace the study of Jewish Christianity from him through Thomas Morgan's The Moral Philosopher to Baur. The Society of Biblical Literature publishes the paperbound edition; Brill publishes the hardbound. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
