A compelling account of Christianityâ¿s Jewish beginnings, from one of the worldâ¿s leading scholars of ancient religion How did a group of charismatic, apocalyptic Jewish missionaries, working to prepare their world for the impending realization of Godâ¿s promises to Israel, end up inaugurating a movement that would grow into the gentile church? Committed to Jesusâ¿s prophecyâ¿âThe Kingdom of God is at hand!â?â¿they were, in their own eyes, historyâ¿s last generation. But in historyâ¿s eyes, they became the first Christians.   In this electrifying social and intellectual history, Paula Fredriksen answers this question by reconstructing the life of the earliest Jerusalem community. As her account arcs from this groupâ¿s hopeful celebration of Passover with Jesus, through their bitter controversies that fragmented the movementâ¿s midcentury missions, to the cityâ¿s fiery end in the Roman destruction of Jerusalem, she brings this vibrant apostolic community to life. Fredriksen offers a vivid portrait both of this templeâ`centered messianic movement and of the bedrock convictions that animated and sustained it.
