Here is a brief and highly readable history of early Christianity.
Etienne Trocme spares us references to the jungle of secondary
literature and with a lifetime's experience of New Testament
studies cuts short long discussions of might-have-beeps. With a
sure eye to lines of development, he paints a fascinating picture
of the world of the first Christians. Simply basing himself on the
New Testament, he nevertheless shows how much experimentation and
conflict there was to begin with. He emphasizes the initial close
relations between Christians and Jews and the shock to Christianity
when Jerusalem fell at the end of the Jewish war and the Jewish
revival firmly went its own way. He demonstrates how controversial
a figure Paul was and how he suffered apparent failure before many
of his views triumphed at the end of the first century. Even those
who feel that more than enough has been written about the early
church will warm to this book, and those to whom the story is
unfamiliar will find it difficult to put down. Etienne Trocme is
Emeritus Professor of New Testament in the University of
Strasbourg.
