In Search of Christian Origins

$119.97 (Reg. $199.95)

In his masterful ten-part DVD study course In Search of Christian Origins, the dynamic and engaging James Charlesworth of Princeton Theological Seminary asks two fundamental questions: How did the Palestinian Jesus Movement develop within the vibrant but highly factionalized world of Second Temple Judaism? And how did this once obscure and insignificant sect evolve into a movement that was able to not only expand far beyond its Jewish roots, but also become the dominant religion of the Roman Empire under Constantine the Great? Learn the context of Jesus’ life, from Jewish factionalism to perceptions of his resurrection. How did early believers like Paul and the Evangelists maintain their connection to Judaism even after Jesus’ death? What varieties of Christianity developed across the Mediterranean world, and what philosophical and theological debates transformed Jesus’ movement into Christianity? These questions are addressed in an easy-to-absorb format, illustrated with helpful maps, plans and stunning color photographs. Also included with In Search of Christian Origins are instructive readings, timelines and maps that will deepen your understanding of the historical Jesus, Early Christianity and the New Testament.
