{"product_id":"the-birth-of-christianity-the-first-twenty-years-9780802827814","title":"The Birth of Christianity: The First Twenty Years","description":"Contrary to several popular works of Christian scholarship, historian Paul Barnett maintains that the first two decades of Christian history are hardly lost years. As he shows in this penetrating book, the period between Jesus and the earliest Christian texts is open to historical investigation, and he richly details the time and setting in which the church was born. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWriting in a very accessible style, Barnett provides an informative, reliable chronology of the years immediately following Jesus' crucifixion. Just as important, he presents the historical sources, biblical clues, and other telling evidence that we have for accurately documenting this crucial period of time. Looking more widely, Barnett also surveys world events during Christianity's first twenty years and notes their impact on life in the early church. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Birth of Christianity: The First Twenty Years\u003c\/i\u003e is Volume 1 of a trilogy titled \u003ci\u003eAfter Jesus.\u003c\/i\u003e Volume 2 will be \u003ci\u003ePaul, Missionary of Jesus\u003c\/i\u003e, and Volume 3 will be \u003ci\u003eFinding the Historical Christ.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Barnett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
