ISBN: 9780281056347 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Margaret Barker believes that Christian theology matured quickly because it was the return to a far older faith.

In late antiquity, as Christianity emerged from Judaism, it was not only the new religion that was being influenced by the old.

In The Jewish Jesus, Peter Schafer reveals the crucial ways in which various Jewish heresies, including Christianity, affected the development of rabbinic Judaism. He even shows that some of the ideas that the rabbis appropriated from Christianity were actually...

This book explores the way in which different ethnic, religious and linguistic communities co-existed and conflicted in the Roman Near East in the three centuries between the conversion of the Emperor Constantine to Christianity in 312 and the beginning of Muhammad's preaching in about 610. In the fourth century a major role was played by Greek-speaking pagans, most notably the great orator, Libanius, from Antioch in Syria. After about 400, however, the public observance of pagan rituals died away under the pressure of Christianity. But the Greek language, as used in the Church, remained...
