Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the origins of the term 'Christians' and the emergence of the early Christian community. The author challenges the traditional narrative presented in the book of Acts, arguing that the widespread adoption of the name 'Christians' likely occurred in the years following the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple in 70 CE. Drawing on historical sources and linguistic analysis, the author traces the development of the term from its initial use by non-believers to its gradual acceptance by members of the new faith. The book explores the social and political factors that shaped the identity of early Christians, highlighting the tensions between Jewish and Gentile converts. By examining the historical context and linguistic evolution of the term 'Christians', this book sheds light on the complex and dynamic nature of early Christianity. Its insights challenge traditional assumptions and provide a fresh perspective on the origins and development of the Christian movement.
