This involves not only analysis of the readily accessible content of the relevant literary evidence, but also attention to the world-views and assumptions about reality that are inherent in these documents and other phenomena that have survived from this period.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Howard Clark Kee</note> <subject> <topic>Bible -- New Testament -- Introductions</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Church history Primitive and early church, ca 30-600</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">270.1</classification> <classification authority="ddc">K26-H85</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0567027414, 9780567027412</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14210/the-beginnings-of-christianity.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14210/the-beginnings-of-christianity.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071335.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
