Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed study of the origins of Christianity and its earliest phases of development, discussing its social, political, and religious contexts. Amidst the decline of the ancient Hebraism, popular Jewish thought and life were strongly influenced by Persian ideas, particularly the beliefs in future life, bodily resurrection, and a supernatural savior. The author delves into the religious disputes between the rival sects of Pharisees and Sadducees, as well as the rise of monastic and messianic movements like the Essenes and the Kanaim. The book also examines the impact of Greek culture and the Roman Empire on the religious climate of the time. The author argues that the teachings and life of Jesus should not be seen in isolation but as a product of these complex historical and intellectual currents. This book offers a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the birth of Christianity within the broader context of its time.
