Seven Origins of Christianity: A Short History from Genesis to the Trinity

Let us tread some dusty ancient roads, as walked by the disciples and indeed by Jesus Christ himself.

Along the way, we will discuss the ancient Jewish world in all its fascinating complexity, as we chart Israel's rich unfolding. So too, our conversation will foray more broadly into the ancient Mediterranean, to briefly savour some of its strangeness and dispute.

The Bible itself will guide our path. The very structure of the canon directs us towards a series of foundational texts. These, our journey's stepping stones, shall furnish us with the broadest historical panorama, but yet will nonetheless permit us to pause and dwell upon the juiciest points of curiosity and intrigue.

Distilling 100 years of scholarship, this book's unique combination of breadth with depth offers a superb introduction to the historical underpinnings of both theology and of the Christian faith. As such, this absorbing narrative draws together a huge amount of insight, encapsulating this within just one handy volume.
