Since its publication in 2000, The Early Christian World has come
to be regarded by scholars, students and the general reader as one
of the most informative and accessible works in English on the
origins, development, character and major figures of early
Christianity. In this new edition, the strengths of the first
edition are retained. These include the book's attractive
architecture that initially takes a reader through the context and
historical development of early Christianity; the essays in
critical areas such as community formation, everyday experience,
the intellectual and artistic heritage, and external and internal
challenges; and the profiles on the most influential early
Christian figures. The book also preserves its strong stress on the
social reality of early Christianity and continues its distinctive
use of hundreds of illustrations and maps to bring that world to
life. Yet the years that have passed since the first edition was
published have seen great advances made in our understanding of
early Christianity in its world. This new edition fully reflects
these developments and provides the reader with authoritative,
lively and up-to-date access to the early Christian world. A
quarter of the text is entirely new and the remaining essays have
all been carefully revised and updated by their authors. Some of
the new material relates to Christian culture (including book
culture, canonical and non-canonical scriptures, saints and
hagiography, and translation across cultures). But there are also
new essays on: Jewish and Christian interaction in the early
centuries; ritual; the New Testament in Roman Britain; Manichaeism;
Pachomius the Great and Gregory of Nyssa. This new edition will
serve its readers for many years to come.
