Until now, however, there has been no sourcebook of primary texts that reveals the many varieties of Christian beliefs, practices, ethics, experiences, confrontations, and self-understandings. To help readers recognize and experience the rich diversity of the early Christian movement, \u003cem\u003eAfter the New Testament\u003c\/em\u003e provides a wide range of texts from the second and third centuries, both \"orthodox\" and \"heterodox,\" including such works as the Apostolic Fathers, the writings of Nag Hammadi, early pseudepigrapha, martyrologies, anti-Jewish tractates, heresiologies, canon lists, church orders, liturgical texts, and theological treatises. Rather than providing only fragments of texts, this collection prints large excerpts--entire documents wherever possible--organized under social and historical rubrics. \u003cbr\u003e This unique reader's concise and informative introductions and clear and up-to-date English translations make it ideal for courses on the New Testament, Christian Origins, Early Church History, or Late Antiquity. It will also be of interest to anyone--student, scholar, and general reader alike--interested in the entire range of early Christian literature from the period after the New Testament up to the writings of the so-called father of church history, Eusebius.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"After the New Testament: A Reader in Early Christianity | Bart D Ehrman | Paperback | 9780195114454 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks F 1763641","offer_id":49287640907928,"sku":"1763641","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/810ZAboDIOL.jpg?v=1781893615","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/after-the-new-testament-a-reader-in-early-christianity","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
