Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the political and social dimensions of early Christianity, arguing that the movement was fundamentally revolutionary in its time. The author delves into the historical context of Christ's teachings, analyzing how they resonated with the discontent of the lower classes, who yearned for relief from oppression and a redistribution of wealth. The book examines the concept of Christ's "kingdom," arguing that it was envisioned as a radical departure from existing political and social structures. The author suggests that this kingdom, intended to be established on earth, was seen as a haven for the poor and marginalized, where traditional hierarchies would be overturned and wealth would be shared. The book examines the potential for violence inherent in this vision, exploring how Christ's followers prepared for a clash of authorities and the possibility of armed conflict. The author also sheds light on the tensions between early Christianity and established power structures, including the Roman Empire and the Jewish religious authorities. The book offers insights into the challenges faced by the nascent movement, its perceived threat to the status quo, and the persecution it subsequently endured. This insightful work challenges conventional understandings of early Christianity by highlighting its revolutionary potential and its roots in social and political activism.
