After Jesus before Christianity : a historical exploration of the first two centuries of Jesus movements / Erin Vearncombe, Bernard Brandon Scott, Hal Taussig for the Westar Christianity Seminar. by Vearncombe, Erin. HarperOne, an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers, 2021. Call #: 270.1 V394a Subjects Church history -- Primitive and early church, ca. 30-600. ISBN:  9780063062153 (hc.) Alternate title:  Historical exploration of the first two centuries of Jesus movements Edition:  1st ed. Description:  xxii, 342 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  "What do we really know about how Christianity took shape? Do the rituals, practices, and beliefs common today look anything like those of the earliest Christians? These questions frame the thought experiment of a group of scholars from the Westar Institute, home of the groundbreaking Jesus Seminar. Too often the history of Christianity has been written backwards, projecting later assumptions onto the past and so distorting what we can see. This team of scholars asks: What if history is played forward, without assuming an inevitable outcome, without assumptions or preconceptions? How would that change what we see in the first two centuries after Jesus? Highlighting the many archaeological and manuscript discoveries over the past twenty years, 'After Jesus before Christianity' offers numerous new insights and discoveries that provide a paradigm-shifting picture, including: That there was no religion called Christianity before the third century ; That there were multiple Jesus movements ; That there was much more flexibility and diversity within the Jesus movements, including understandings of gender, sexuality, and morality ; And much more. 'After Jesus before Christianity' will revolutionize how we see the two hundred years after the life and death of Jesus of Nazareth." --Back cover.
