OverviewSharing many traditions and characteristics, the Gospel of Matthew, the letter of James, and the Didache invite comparative study. In this volume, internationally renowned scholars consider the three writings and the complex interrelationship between first-century Judaism and nascent Christianity. These texts likely reflect different aspects and emphases of a network of connected communities sharing basic theological assumptions and expressions. Of particular importance for the reconstruction of the religious and social milieu of these communities are issues such as the role of Jewish law, the development of community structures, the reception of the Jesus tradition, and conflict management. In addition to the Pauline and Johannine schools, Matthew, James, and the Didache may represent a third religious milieu within earliest Christianity that is especially characterized through its distinct connections to a particular ethical stream of contemporary Jewish tradition.Paperback edition is available from the Society of Biblical Literature (www.sbl-site.org) Full Product DetailsAuthor: Huub van de Sandt , Jurgen ZangenbergPublisher: Society of Biblical Literature Imprint: Society of Biblical Literature Dimensions: Width: 15.20cm , Height: 2.70cm , Length: 22.90cm Weight: 0.711kg ISBN: 9781589833586ISBN 10: 1589833589 Pages: 488 Publication Date: 15 October 2008 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Awaiting stock The supplier is currently out of stock of this item.
