How did early Christians remember Jesus--and how did they develop
their own "Christian" identities and communities? In this
accessible and revelatory book, Greg Carey explores how
transgression contributed to early Christian identity in the
Gospels, Acts, Letters of Paul, and Revelation. Carey examines
Jesus as a friend of sinners, challenger of purity laws,
transgressor of conventional masculine values of his time, and
convicted seditionist. He looks at early Christian communities as
out of step with "respectable" practices of their time. Finally, he
provides examples of contemporary Christians whose faith requires
them to "do the right thing," even when it means violating current
definitions of "respectability.
