Finally, the author puts forward some novel suggestions as to how the Jewish background to Christianity may nonetheless have contributed to the enthusiastic adoption of universal proselytization by some followers of Jesus in the apostolic age.
This book tackles a central problem of religious history: proselytizing by Jews and pagans in the ancient world, and the origins of mission in the early Church. Martin Goodman argues that mission is not an inherent religious instinct, that in antiquity it was found only sporadically among Jews and pagans, and even Christians rarely stressed its importance in the early centuries.
