His geographically and chrnologically focused approach especially reveals a diverse range of responses to this phenomenon both among the Jews and among the first Christians whose primary allegiance was to Jesus as Messiah. By analysing the primary, non-literary sources and building on the scholarship of other ancient historians, this study advances the field in particular and important ways.  aBible -- Criticism, interpretation, etc -- History -- Early church, ca 30-600  aChurch history -- Primitive and early church, ca 30-600  aChurch and state -- Rome4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14336/979833454-140.jpgyCover Image
