This volume contains thirty-one essays by Richard Bauckham, a well-known New Testament scholar, that cover many aspects of early Christianity in the New Testament and early patristic periods, reflecting the author's conviction that the historical study of early Christianity should not isolate the New Testament literature from other early Christian sources.
