The First Generation When Christians Were Jews

From Jesus of Nazareth to the Gospels tells the story of the first generation of Christians and how these Jews developed a new understanding of who Jesus was.

The book explores the ways early Christians tried to make sense of who Jesus was and what Jesus meant to them.

Paula Fredriksen examines the ways that their understanding of who Jesus was changed from the time of his death to the time the Gospels were written.
