In Christianity in the making, James D.G. Dunn examines in depth the major factors that shaped first-generation Christianity and beyond, exploring the parting of the ways between Christianity and Judaism, the Hellenization of Christianity, and responses to Gnosticism. He mines all the first- and second-century sources, including the New Testament Gospels, New Testament apocrypha, and such church fathers as Ignatius, Justin Martyr, and Irenaeus, showing how the Jesus tradition and the figures of James, Paul, Peter, and John were still esteemed influences but were also the subject of intense controversy as the early church wrestled with its evolving identity.

A highly regarded historian and professor presents a sustained reflection on the meaning of the Church's life in time. Divided into five parts, each section takes up a period of Church history and considers how the developments in church history relate to the Church today. From doctrines to customs, Olsen examines both the theological and historical impact of each new development. Beginning with ancient Christianity, the author illustrates how both secularization and sacralization take place in history and how it corresponds to our own age. Taking the reader from late ancient and early medieval Christianity, to the full bloom of medieval scholasticism and scholarship, to the dawn of the Renaissance and the aggressively anti-religious time of the "Enlightenment", Olsen considers all aspects of every age. The final section is a discussion of the Church in our own time, confronting such problems as modernization and the relation of the Church to culture. Appendices expand on The Catechism of the Catholic Church's teaching on the relation between prayer and history.

Israel My Son reveals the transcendent plan of God for Mankind, birthed through the nation of Israel. From before the foundation of the world, God intentioned that His plan for the Salvation of mankind be centred and administered in and through Israel, as the Word of God says, "...salvation is of the Jews" (John 4:22). The Spiritual Promised Land of Christ and the natural land of Israel became forever intertwined in the purposes of God beginning with Abraham's Obedience and completed in Christ. A proper understanding of the significance of Israel to the counsels of God, provides access to keys allowing us to apprehend the fullness of God's comprehensive plan, and the facility to be aligned with His purposes in this hour, for our nations. Israel My Son is a key to understanding your Hebraic roots, and how your identity is shaped as it relates to God's comprehensive plan. If you are Christ's then this book is important for you as Jesus is the King of the Israel of God, who will reign eternally in Jerusalem. From the beginning to the end, it reveals key features of the greatest story ever told, and without which major parts of the panoramic landscape of God's vision are obscured, producing many errors of interpretation.

This volume identifies and investigates literary traditions and their implications for the authorship and dating of the Gospels and the letters of the New Testament. Ellis argues that the Gospels and the letters are products of the corporate authorship of four allied apostolic missions and not the creation of individual authors.
