Delving into the interpretive 'tool-kit' of the earliest Christian
historians, the author identifies and explores the logic of
retribution that pervades their records of the past. In the Old
Testament, for example, God blessed those who kept his commandments
and requited those who turned against them. The author argues that
the writings of the Early Christian historians reflects this logic
and goes on to compare this development with pagan history-writing.
He also explores the conflict between retributive logic and what
began to emerge as the central features of the Christian faith:
forgiveness and redemption.
