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. 606 $aChristian life$xHistory$yEarly church, ca. 30-600 615 0$aChristian life$xHistory 676 $a226.06 676 $a270.1 700 $aValantasis$b Richard$f1946-$01113344 701 $aBleyle$b Douglas K.$f1967-$01615709 701 $aHaugh$b Dennis C.$f1942-$01615710 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823615703321 996 $aThe Gospels and Christian life in history and practice$93946026 997 $aUNINA
