Were the first Christians really Jewish? In this controversial book, Carsten Peter Thiede argues that the first Christians were not a radically new and fundamentally different religion but part of a Jewish movement.

Review:

"As a papyrologist and expert in the history and texts of the first century, Thiede is eminently qualified to present this erudite analysis." "--Publisher's Weekly"
