The First Urban Churches 6 by James R. Harrison
A collection of interdisciplinary essays that reconstructs the social, political, and religious environments of the earliest Christ-groups in key Greco-Roman cities, integrating archaeology, epigraphy, and close textual analysis to illuminate how assemblies met in domestic and civic spaces, navigated patronage and status, engaged local and imperial cults, organized leadership and charity, and forged moral identities. By situating New Testament texts within concrete urban contexts, it offers fresh case studies that refine understandings of mission, worship, conflict, and community formation in the first centuries.
