This book provides a comprehensive and introductory account of the
emergence of Christianity, as we know it today. Dealing with the
Jewish background to Jesus and crucial issues as the Synoptic
problem it is an ideal undergraduate textbook.In "Christian
Origins" Jonathan Knight gives a comprehensive account of the
emergence of Christianity as we know it today. Beginning with the
Jewish background to Jesus and his teachings, Knight examines the
different factions within Judaism at the time, ultimately
identifying eschatology as the common link to Jesus' teaching.
Knight presents this apocalyptic agenda as the mainstay of early
Christian belief, and uses this as a lens through which to view the
development of the Early Church, the writings of Paul and the
further growth of the Church.In examining the birth of Christianity
Knight alights on such crucial and intriguing issues as the
Synoptic Problem, the historical figure of Jesus and the authorship
of the Pauline epistles. These widespread investigations lead him
to an enlightening examination of Pauline ethics and the
development of sacramental understanding and Christian ministry,
propelling the book beyond a basic exegetical reflection to a
breathtaking demonstration of the foundations of a major world
faith.
