A central figure in the reconception of early Christian history
over the last three decades, Wayne A. Meeks offers here a selection
of his most influential writings on the New Testament and early
Christianity. His essays illustrate recent changes in our thinking
about the early Christian movement and pose provocative questions
regarding the history of this period.
Meeks explores a fascinating range of topics, from the figure of
the androgyne in antiquity to the timeless matter of God's
reliability, from Paul's ethical rhetoric to New Testament pictures
of Christianity's separation from Jewish communities. Meeks'
introduction offers a retrospective on New Testament studies of the
past thirty years and explains the intersection of these studies
with a variety of exploratory and revisionist movements in the
humanities, embracing social theory, history, anthropology, and
literature. In an epilogue the author reflects on future directions
for New Testament scholarship.
