This book deals with the theology of the Church of Smyrna from its
foundation up to the Council of Nicaea in 325. The author provides
a critical historical evaluation of the documentary sources and
certain aspects particularly deserving of discussion. He makes a
meticulous study of the history of the city, its gods and
institutions, the set-up of the Jewish and Christian communities
and the response of the latter to the imperial cult. Finally, he
undertakes a detailed analysis both of the reception of the Hebrew
Scriptures and the apostolic traditions, as well as examining the
gradual historical process of the shaping of orthodoxy and the
identity of the community in the light of the organisation of its
ecclesial ministries, its sacramental life and the cult of its
martyrs.
