Explore the ideas shaping early Christian thought through a critical, historical lens. This nonfiction work surveys how 19th‑ and early 20th‑century scholars viewed Jesus, the apostles, and the church. It probes the tension between scholarly critique and religious tradition, offering examples from major thinkers to illuminate how faith and critique interact in modern theology.
Drawing on debates about the authenticity of biblical narratives, the nature of prophecy, and the role of the church, the book traces arguments about how historical context, language, and interpretation affect belief. It compares different approaches to theology, history, and tradition, while showing how these debates influenced religious communities and their self-understanding.
Ideal for readers interested in religious history, biblical interpretation, and the conversation between faith and scholarship.
