(PUBWestminster/John Knox)Translated from the German!

In The Theology of the First Christians, Walter Schmithals offers a comprehensive history of the development of religious thought from the preaching of Jesus to the formation of the New Testament canon. This well-researched volume will be of great interest to New Testament scholars and students.

Walter Schmithals taught New Testament at the Kirchliche Hochschule in Germany.
