Descriere magazin:
A fresh and rigorously researched take on Christianity\'s founding.--Publishers Weekly The first Christians were weird. Just how weird is often lost on today\'s believers. Within Roman society, the earliest Christians stood out for the oddness of their beliefs and practices. They believed unusual things, worshiped God in strange ways, and lived a unique lifestyle.
