- Summary:
- This book looks at Christian origins under several headings: worship, belief and society. The opening essay sets out to describe the immediate background to the early Christian movement within Judaism. The remaining nine essays look at how the early Christians worshipped, what did they believe about Jesus and, finally, in what way did the early Christian movement come to social expression. The authors of the different essays are experts in their various fields.
