About This Book

A sequence of lectures traces early Christianity from Jewish roots through regional syntheses and doctrinal development. The author sets Jesus' teaching—Kingdom of God, repentance, and his personal character—against contemporary Jewish currents, then follows the movement's spread through Galilee, Jerusalem, Antioch, Damascus and the Hellenist missions, emphasizing Pauline influence. A chapter on Corinth treats Christianity as a Graeco-Oriental cult focused on salvation, baptism and immortality. Final chapters examine Roman and Ephesian circles, adoptionist strains, key documents and authors, and the emergence of Christology from pre-existence motifs to Logos theology, closing with reflections on sacramental cults and the processes that reshaped earlier religious forms.
