Modelling Early Christianity explores the intriguing foreign social
context of first century Palestine and the Greco-Roman East, in
which the Christian faith was first proclaimed and the New
Testament documents were written. It demonstrates that a
sophisticated analysis of the context is essential in order to
understand the original meaning of the texts.
The contributors examine social themes such as early Christian
group formation, the centrality of kinship and honour and the
economic setting. They offer a wealth of novel and socially
realistic interpretations which make sense of the texts. At the
same time, Modelling Early Christianity contains significant new
ideas on the relationship between social-scientific and
literary-critical analysis, the theoretical justification for
model-use and the way these new approaches can fertilise
contemporary Christian theology.
