Synopsis :

For early Christians "church" - from a world meaning "called out" - was not simply a Sunday morning battery charge for Monday morning's return to empire, but the basis for a complete society grounded in the presence of the Risen Jesus. Taking up where Albert Nolan left off, in his classic Jesus Before Christianity, Wes Howard-Brook shows how the "church before Christianity" can inspire and challenge a new awakening among Christians today.

He is recently retired from Seattle University and continues to collaborate in the ministry, Abide in Me with his wife, Sue Ferguson Johnson. He is author most recently of Creation and Empire as well as "Come Out, My People" God's Call Out of Empire in the Bible and Beyond, Empire Baptized: How the Church Embraced What Jesus Rejected, 2nd-5th Centuries) and (with Anthony Gwyther) of Unveiling Empire: Reading Revelation Then and Now.
