The Birth of Christianity: The First Twenty Years Paperback - 2005
by Paul Barnett
Barnett's work is not so much a narrative of the "birth" and early years of Christianity as an argument that this birth can be documented by the usual methods of historical inquiry.
From the rear cover
Contrary to several popular works of Christian scholarship, historian Paul Barnett maintains that the first two decades of Christian history are hardly "lost years." As he shows in this penetrating book, the period between Jesus and the earliest Christian texts is open to historical investigation, and he richly details the time and setting in which the church was born.
Writing in a very accessible style, Barnett provides an informative, reliable chronology of the years immediately following Jesus' crucifixion. Just as important, he presents the historical sources, biblical clues, and other telling evidence that we have for accurately documenting this crucial period of time. Looking more widely, Barnett also surveys world events during Christianity's first twenty years and notes their impact on life in the early church.
"The Birth of Christianity: The First Twenty Years is Volume 1 of a trilogy titled "After Jesus. Volume 2 will be "Paul and His Mission Churches, and Volume 3 will be "Finding the Historical Christ.Details
