Product Description

▼▲

Destroyed in A.D. 79, Pompeii opens a window on first-century life just as the Jesus movement was beginning. What can the ruins tell us about early Christianity? Caroline Osiek, Bruce Longenecker, David Balch, and others explore the contours, nuances, and subtleties of early church texts to illuminate commonplace settings and situations that influenced first-century believers. 240 pages, hardcover from Fortress.
