From Jesus To The Church by Craig A. Evans
The First Christian Generation
A concise historical study of how the earliest Jesus movement developed into a recognizable church within the first generation after his death. Drawing on the Gospels, Acts, Josephus, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and archaeology, it reconstructs leadership in Jerusalem, the roles of Peter, James, and Paul, the Gentile mission, and the impact of the Jewish War and the Temple’s destruction. It assesses the reliability of key traditions and shows how convictions about Jesus’ resurrection and identity catalyzed rapid growth and a distinct communal identity.
