For scholars and enthusiasts of early Christian studies

Uncovers cultural contexts behind New Testament writings

You will gain deeper insights into early Christian thought

This insightful book explores the Graeco-Roman influences on early Christian literature.

In this volume of essays the Graeco-Roman background and context of early Christianity are explored for significant parallels. From the athlete metaphor in 1 Corinthians 9 to the role of Aphrodite as the goddess of love and sexuality, the important cultural symbols and terminology that the first Christians employed are examined. Garrison maintains that the Graeco-Roman setting of early Christianity is essential to our understanding of the New Testament and the Apostolic Fathers.
