How do we know what we know about the origins of the Christian
religion? Neither its founder, nor the Apostles, nor Paul left any
written accounts of their movement. The witnesses' testimonies were
transmitted via successive generations of copyists and historians,
with the oldest surviving fragments dating to the second and third
centuries - that is, to well after Jesus' death. In this innovative
and important book, Markus Vinzent interrogates standard
interpretations of Christian origins handed down over the
centuries. He scrutinizes - in reverse order - the earliest
recorded sources from the sixth to the second century, showing how
the works of Greek and Latin writers reveal a good deal more about
their own times and preoccupations than they do about early
Christianity. In so doing, the author boldly challenges
understandings of one of the most momentous social and religious
movements in history, as well as its reception over time and place.
