First christians in their social worlds:

First christians in their social worlds: social-scientific approaches to new testament interpretation Esler, Philip F. Additional Author mixed material bibliography London and New York Routledge,Inc. 1994 monographic en English By applying perspectives from sociology and anthropology to a wide range of biblical data, The First Christians in Their Social Worlds examines how the New Testament documents were influenced by the social realities of the early Christian communities for whom they were written, with the result that the texts reveal an intimate connection between society and Gospel. Overlaying this theoretical foundation, Philip Esler's book studies specific socio-political ideas in various texts of the New Testament, for example, charismatic phenomena, the admission of Gentiles into early Christian communities, sectarianism and millennarianism and its relationship to political oppression. 225.670415111226 Perpustakaan STTB Bandung Theological Seminary 225.6'7 Esl f E08000945 Non Fiction 225.6'7 Esl f 71E8sJ7vY8L._SL1360_.jpg 54904 2014-12-15 09:59:10 2025-03-18 17:34:47 machine generated
