Why Christianity Happened by F.H. Crossley
A Sociological Account of Christian Origins (26-50 CE)
A sociological analysis of the emergence and early success of the Jesus movement, arguing that concrete social, economic, and political forces in first‑century Judaism and the Roman Empire shaped its development. It examines debates over Torah observance and food laws, class dynamics, millenarian expectations, and the impact of the Jewish–Roman War, contending that these conditions, rather than purely theological factors, propelled the movement’s expansion and the formation of its foundational myths and narratives.
