Jesus and first-century Christianity in Jerusalem

---

This book covers an area of early-Christian scholarship which receives too little discussion: the history of the Jerusalem church in early Christianity. Scholars often have little to say because there is so little evidence, but this book attempts to make sense of the limited data in a way approachable by undergraduates and non-professionals. The book takes the position that Jesus' family were heavily influenced by Essene beliefs (while not Essenes themselves), and that both Jesus' personal motivations and the actions of the Jerusalem Church (headed by Jesus' family) can best be understood in this context. It's a promising premise, and much of the book is well-written, informative, and beautifully illustrated.
