Dealing with a time when "Christians" were moving towards separation from the movement's Jewish origins, this inaugural volume of A People's History of Christianity tells "the people's story" by gathering together evidence from the New Testament texts, archaeology, and other contemporary sources. Of particular interest to the distinguished group of scholar-contributors are the often overlooked aspects of the earliest "Christian" consciousness: How, for example, did they manage to negotiate allegiances to two social groups? How did they deal with crucial issues of wealth and poverty? What about the participation of slaves and women in these communities? How did living in the shadow of the Roman Empire color their religious experience and economic values?

Explore the world to which the Bible has been written in. Following the Documentary Hypothesis, each author provides clues to the origins of their writings. These clues reveal hidden propoganda and agendas during the time-frame to which the author had set these writings to scrolls. Biblical Origins is the first book in a future series, dedicated to solving the long lasting mystery: Who wrote the Bible? It is when this is identified that the scriptures of the Hebrew Bible will truly come to life, finally providing us with the answers to all else relating to it. There has been much confusion when attempting to date the Pentateuch, especially when considering the Documentary/Source Hypothesis. To what time-frame does each source/ author belong and under what influence do these writings come into existence? These questions have been plaguing both scholars and non-scholars since the very beginning of biblical studies. Designated towards scholarly research, Biblical Origins: An Adopted Legacy offers new insights to the author referred to as the Yahwist (J) and his role for giving us one of the most influential narratives read to this day. The origins of the Bible and its authorship are now revealed, with the author's influence based on the current conditions of the time and backed by Judaean political agendas. The Yahwist is not only identified to a specific period in Judiac history but as a result from additional research and analysis, clues are obtained confirming the identity of the Yahwist from another author in the Documentary Hypo-thesis, referred to as the Elohist (E). In addition to all the research revealed there is also an attempt in solving some of the Bible's oldest mysteries. Theorigins for the stories of Eden, the Flood, Babel, etc. are also carefully dissected and explained from the scribes' point of view. As a bonus the author provides, in an appendix chapter, his critical analysis of Genesis 14 and an identity to the author who wrote it.

A literary history of our most influential book of all time, by an Oxford scholar and Anglican priest In our culture, the Bible is monolithic: It is a collection of books that has been unchanged and unchallenged since the earliest days of the Christian church. The idea of the Bible as "Holy Scripture," a non-negotiable authority straight from God, has prevailed in Western society for some time. And while it provides a firm foundation for centuries of Christian teaching, it denies the depth, variety, and richness of this fascinating text. In A History of the Bible, John Barton argues that the Bible is not a prescription to a complete, fixed religious system, but rather a product of a long and intriguing process, which has inspired Judaism and Christianity, but still does not describe the whole of either religion. Barton shows how the Bible is indeed an important source of religious insight for Jews and Christians alike, yet argues that it must be read in its historical context--from its beginnings in myth and folklore to its many interpretations throughout the centuries. It is a book full of narratives, laws, proverbs, prophecies, poems, and letters, each with their own character and origin stories. Barton explains how and by whom these disparate pieces were written, how they were canonized (and which ones weren't), and how they were assembled, disseminated, and interpreted around the world--and, importantly, to what effect. Ultimately, A History of the Bible argues that a thorough understanding of the history and context of its writing encourages religious communities to move away from the Bible's literal wording--which is impossible to determine--and focus instead on the broader meanings of scripture.

The life and death of Jesus of Nazareth and the beginnings of the movement which venerated him are of profound religious significance to Christian believers today. However, these events are also part of our common history and have had enormous influence on the development of Western civilization, They are, therefore, legitimate subjects of historical enquiry. The historical introduction to the New Testament investigates the foundation of the new religious movement in the life of Jesus, the experiences which acted as a catalyst on missionary activity after his death, the factors which led to a separation of the movement from Judaism, and the development of the ecclesiastical structure through which Christianity has influenced subsequent secular and religious history.

Callahan strictly interprets the Bible through the lens of comparative mythology, where the mythic content of Biblical stories is illustrated as a way to understand the purpose the stories served for the people who wrote them. Biblical history is merely a mythic representation of human psychology and meaning-making in human conscience. Callahan contends that most of the histories and stories were written and manipulated centuries after the events described. He cautions against literal interpetation of the Bible, but seeks to understand why society validates the myth.

"promises to be vital and illuminating for all"—Rabbi David Ellenson, Chancellor Emeritus of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion "a work of remarkable historical investigation"—Dale Pauls, Minister Emeritus, Stamford Church of Christ Just like us, the writers of the Bible tried to understand the world and their place in it. Using the literary device of allegory, the ancient Israelites created foundational stories for the people to coalesce around, giving them a sense of belonging and purpose. To illustrate, the tale of the Israelite Exodus from slavery in Egypt provided a sense of a communal struggle, but archaeological evidence shows that the Exodus did not in fact take place. As another example, subjects who questioned the actions of the early kings of Israel were placated by tales of ancient leaders-such as Abraham, Jacob, Joseph and Moses-who behaved in a like manner. As their story unfolded, the ancient Israelites recorded and preserved texts which are central to Judaism and provide a foundation for the two largest religions in the world: Christianity and Islam. By merging the last fifty years of archaeological findings from the Ancient Near East with his expertise in Ancient Semitic languages and his vast knowledge of the ancient text, in Biblical Origins: The Political Intent of the Bible's Writers S. David Sperling takes readers on a compelling exploration of the political circumstances that led to the creation of these foundational stories-revealing that the Bible is a very human document that speaks with many voices.

In 1992, a group of scholars in the Society of Biblical Literature began to explore the prospects and lay the groundwork for a new, collaborative project devoted to the task of re-describing Christian origins. They proposed a two-year Society Consultants on Ancient Myths and Modern Theories of Christian Origins, followed by a six-year seminar focusing both on the diverse myths of origin found in the writings of the earliest Christians, and on competing scholarly theories of explanation and interpretation. The bifocal approach was intended both to explain how and why certain myths got into place, and to clarify alternatives and points of consensus among the different methods and models that are currently being used to describe the beginnings of the Christian religion. They report their results here. Annotation : 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
