Synopsis

Exploring the unsettled early church in a world of empire and upheaval. The Time of the Apostles examines how Paul’s mission and the surrounding surge of Jewish proselytism shaped the first communities of believers, from Corinth to Rome, amid political shock and social change.

This volume traces how the rapid spread of Christian faith collided with Greek philosophy, Roman rule, and a variety of religious movements. It looks at how disputes, asceticism, and factionalism tested early leaders and tested the peace of fledgling churches. The result is a vivid picture of faith forming under pressure, with real people navigating freedom, family ties, and daily life in a changing empire.


  • Paul’s influence in Corinth and the dangers of internal strife among teachers and converts.

  • The rise of Jewish Christians in Rome and the tension between Old Testament expectations and the new kingdom.

  • The presence and impact of Jewish proselytes in Roman society and their effect on Christian communities.

  • How early Christian writers framed Jesus as the Messiah within a Jewish-leaning, Greco-Roman world.



Ideal for readers of ancient history and early Christian studies who want a coherent, tightly argued account of the apostolic era and its aftermath.
