The Emergence of Christianity

History & Biography

“"Cynthia White's book covers an era that is intellectually challenging, historically complex, and often emotionally charged. It does so in a manner that is lucid and crisply written, making it accessible to students and lay readers and of value to scholars as well. I applaud White's willingness to take on this difficult subject, and I appreciate her mastery of the material. Included alongside the excellent text are visually appealing illustrations, maps, charts and timelines, as well as biographies of central figures, significant passages from important primary texts, and thought–provoking study questions. It is a pleasure to recommend this valuable new book, which makes an important and original contribution to an oft–studied topic.”
