What terms would early Christians have used to address one another?
In the first book-length study on this topic, Paul Trebilco
investigates the origin, use and function of seven key
self-designations: 'brothers and sisters', 'believers', 'saints',
'the assembly', 'disciples', 'the Way', and 'Christian'. In doing
so, he discovers what they reveal about the identity,
self-understanding and character of the early Christian movement.
This study sheds light on the theology of particular New Testament
authors and on the relationship of early Christian authors and
communities to the Old Testament and to the wider context of the
Greco-Roman world. Trebilco's writing is informed by other work in
the area of sociolinguistics on the development of
self-designations and labels and provides a fascinating insight
into this often neglected topic.
