Barnhart  pIn search of first-century Christianity  aU.S.A.  bAshgate  c2000  a217tr.  bHardcover  c22cm  aOriginally pulished in 2000, In Search of First Century Christianity contends that Christianity in the first century had no founder but rather evolved as a convergence of many forces: political disillusionment, cultural mutations, religious and theological motifs, psychosocial losses and new expectations. Moving on from an examination of the foundations of historical and literary criticism in the Renaissance, and a detailed study of two writers in antiquity,Thucydides and Chariton, to examine writings in the period between Plato and the Gospel of Mark, the authors then explore the writing of Paul and the stories told in the Gospels. With the early Christians drawing from both Greek and Hebrew sources, Barnhart and Kraeger propose that, like Plato, Paul and other Christians generated an `anti-tragic theatre` gospel with the Jesus figure being the creation of a culture steeped in an anthropomorphic, metaphysical view of the world.  aPaul, the Apostle, Saint4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/11/1/content.jpgyCover Image  a220618 TKH  c9520d9520  00104070aTVCDbTVCDd2026-01-20g0.00l0pTVCD-9520v0.00yBK
