Reader reviews for Jesus and After: The First Eighty Years

From the publisher

Jesus and After uses extracts from Biblical and other writings to outline the birth and early development of the Jesus sect of Judaism - its early simplicity, its later growth, and its separation from its Jewish parent. Besides its focus on the past, this book offers suggestions for the future of both religions. The book shows how these writings fit together chronologically, and how, together, they give a sense of the evolution of Christian thinking, from the death of Jesus in the year 30 to the trials of Christians under Pliny in 110. It has the scholar in view, but it also speaks to the concerns of moden Christians who are uncertain about some traditional church doctrines, and who may be interested to find that those doctrines are not original to Christianity, but are instead part of its later development.

About the author

E. BRUCE BROOKS lives in Northampton, Massachusetts, and is a Research Professor at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. He is the author of many articles, reviews, and book chapters, and of two
books, one on the Analects of Confucius (1998), in which the supposed sayings of Confucius are separated into early and late; and The Emergence of China, a general introduction to the many schools of thought in the Chinese classical period, and their evolution and interaction. Jesus and After does both these things for Christianity. It distinguishes early from late in individual Christian texts, and shows the development of the religion over time.

Description:
Amherst MA: Warring States Project, 2017. 1st. Softcover. Very Good/None. Softcover, 191 pages. This book is an overview of the history of Early Christianity. Each chapter is based on one selection from Jewish texts or from those produced by the Jesus sect of Judaism. It gives a sense of how things happened, from the words of certain ancient prophets, to Jesus' effort to bring about those prophecies, to the efforts of his followers to reshape their expectations after his death. It follows the movement as it came to regard Jesus himself as divine, a process which eventually led to the separation of the sect from the parent religion. It ends with a glimpse of a surviving early Christian church on the shores of the Black Sea, and how it appeared to the Roman administrator who was in charge of executing those who, like the Early Christians, refused Emperor worship. From the evidence of two deaconesses whom he tortured, which Pliny reported to Emperor Trajan, we too learn what were the regular practices… Read more
