Reihe: Recent Studies in Early Christianity

First published in 1999. The specific aspects of the social setting of Christianity in the early centuries of the common era (examined in Vol. I) lead into consideration of the religious, philosophical, and political setting of early Christianity. These overlapping factors in the environment of early Christianity involve contacts respectively, but not exclusively, with Jews, Greeks, and Romans.
