Origins Of Christianity: With An Outline Of Van Manen's Analysis Of The Pauline Literature

The Origins of Christianity by Thomas Whittaker is a comprehensive study of the early Christian Church and the origins of its beliefs and practices. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the Pauline literature and its role in shaping Christian theology. Whittaker also outlines the theories of Dutch theologian, Van Manen, who believed that the Pauline epistles were not written by the apostle Paul but were later forgeries. The author examines the historical and cultural context of the early Christian Church, including the influence of Judaism and Hellenism. He also explores the development of Christian doctrines such as the Trinity, the divinity of Christ, and the concept of salvation. The book provides a valuable resource for scholars and students of early Christianity, theology, and religious studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
