Description

Beginning from Jerusalem: Christianity in the Making, Volume 2 explores the early formation of the Christian faith from 30 to 70 CE. This second volume in James Dunn's magisterial trilogy delves into the quest for the historical church and reviews the sources before examining the movement stemming from Jesus' teachings.

Dunn focuses on Paul, tracing his life and mission, understanding of his call as apostle, and the character of the churches he founded. The book also examines the final days and literary legacies of key figures in early Christianity, including Peter and James, the brother of Jesus. Dunn engages with a vast array of secondary literature to provide a comprehensive understanding of these pivotal periods.
