Eerdmans Publishing Company  c2000  a138tr.  bPaperback, Illustration  c23 cm  aHurtado focuses on two distinguishing characteristics of earliest Christian worship: its exclusivity (rejecting the worship of other deities) and its ""binitarian"" shape (the veneration of Christ alongside God the Father). Setting early Christianity within the religious environment of the Roman era, Hurtado describes the features of Christianity that attracted followers and led them to renounce other religions. He then turns his attention to a more detailed discussion of the place of Christ in the monotheistic worship of the earliest Christians, showing that Christ figured in their public and corporate devotional life at a surprisingly early stage. The book concludes with some reflections for Christian worship today based on the historical features of early Christian devotional practices.  aHistory  aWorship  aChristianity -- ca. 0030-0600 (Early Church)4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15286/13.jpgyCover Image  aHuỳnh Thị Ngọc Bích  a231010 TKH  c15137d15137  00104070aTVCDbTVCDd2026-01-20g0.00l0pTVCD-15137v0.00yBK
