Christian Origins and the New Testament (NT 1.1)
Posted by Phil Harland. Categories: Christian origins and literature , New Testament course series[4] Comments
This is the first of what will be numerous posts on early Christian history and literature, especially the New Testament, in connection with an undergraduate course I am teaching this term: “Biblical Studies 2: Christian Origins”. Early Christianity and religions of the ancient Mediterranean are my specialty, so there are already many entries here on this blog that will be relevant to Christian origins which you may wish to browse (click and consult the various categories on the right-sidebar). There are also many short and full-text articles and photographs relating to early Christianity, Judaism, and Greco-Roman religions accessible from the topics page of my main website.
Come again, and feel free to post questions or comments.

Phil,
I love the ambiguity of your Photo statement: “Theatre at Ephesus, where Christianity was established quite early (by Phil).” I thought it was Paul who established the early Christian community there, but I could be proven wrong .

Phil,
Sorry, after the word “wrong” in my comment above I put the word “grin” within angled brackets, forgetting that the use of angled brackets was a html programming code. So, please accept a {grin} after the comment above.
Best wishes for the new year.
Bob.

Hello Bob. I took your comment as a joke even without the grin. I’m tempted to leave the ambiguity. All the best. Phil

I’d leave it as well; see if others pick up on it…. Or if it leaves them wondering.
