A compelling account of Christianity's Jewish beginnings, from one
of the world's leading scholars of ancient religion How did a group
of charismatic, apocalyptic Jewish missionaries, working to prepare
their world for the impending realization of God's promises to
Israel, end up inaugurating a movement that would grow into the
gentile church? Committed to Jesus's prophecy-"The Kingdom of God
is at hand!"-they were, in their own eyes, history's last
generation. But in history's eyes, they became the first
Christians. In this electrifying social and intellectual history,
Paula Fredriksen answers this question by reconstructing the life
of the earliest Jerusalem community. As her account arcs from this
group's hopeful celebration of Passover with Jesus, through their
bitter controversies that fragmented the movement's midcentury
missions, to the city's fiery end in the Roman destruction of
Jerusalem, she brings this vibrant apostolic community to life.
Fredriksen offers a vivid portrait both of this temple-centered
messianic movement and of the bedrock convictions that animated and
sustained it.
