Böcker av David L. Dungan

Re-examines the primary source for this history, the Ecclesiastical History of the fourth-century Bishop Eusebius of Caesarea, in the light of Hellenistic political thought. This title describes the consequences of the emperor Constantine's tremendous achievement in transforming orthodox, Catholic Christianity into imperial Christianity.

Since its first appearance in 1980, Documents for the Study of the Gospels has been a highly regarded sourcebook for the study of the historical environment and the religious, philosophical, and literary texts comparable to aspects of the Gospels. In this third edition, David R. Cartlidge has added new discoveries (including the Gospel of Mary Magdala and the Gospel of Judas), updated the introductions in light of contemporary scholarship, and illustrated the texts with a rich repertoire of images from the ancient world and the cultural reception of the Gospels.
