In this national bestseller, John Dominic Crossan, the world& #39; s leading expert on the historical Jesus, reveals how Christianity emerged in the period following Jesus& #39; death. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Crossan shines new light on the theological and cultural contexts from which the Christian church arose.
