Teresa Morgan

Roman Faith and Christian Faith

Pistis and Fides in the Early Roman Empire and Early Churches

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book begins with the question why 'faith' (pistis/fides) was so important to early Christians that it dominated their earliest writings. It argues that the study of emerging Christian pistis/fides must be interdisciplinary, located in the social practices and mentalit¿of Hellenistic Judaism and the early Roman empire.
