Usually commentaries and theological studies focus on the surface of the New Testament, explaining the meaning of the text and applying it to the modern world. At most, they look at the foundations of what is there, the substructure of the buildings which can be clearly seen. This book digs deeper to the bedrock beneath and uncovers traces of the buildings which are no longer there, the Christianity which predates that of the biblical writers. In doing so, it offers a new perception and understanding of the development of Christianity.
