This book studies the gospels as formative documents that reveal how these four communities refracted the life of Jesus to express their unique community life in their historical contexts. Reading Mark, Matthew, Luke and Acts, and John as distinct communities with particular systems of formation, this book explores the differences between the gospels, while providing four windows on the development of primitive Christianity.Christian lifeHistoryEarly church, ca. 30-600Christian lifeHistory226.06270.1Valantasis Richard1946-1113344Bleyle Douglas K.1967-1474272Haugh Dennis C.1942-1474273MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778197503321The Gospels and Christian life in history and practice3687845UNINA
