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.
