Essays are organized chronologically to best depict the development of early Christianity. Contributors are Ronald J. Allen, M. Eugene Boring, Stephanie Buckhanon Crowder, Larry Paul Jones, Rodney L. Parrott, Nancy Claire Pittman, Dennis E. Smith, Richard E. Sturm, Bonnie Thurston, and Judith Hoch Wray
