The First Generation, eBooks, eBook Download (EPUB), A compelling account of Christianity&rsquo;s Jewish beginnings, from one of the world&rsquo;s leading scholars of ancient religion How did a group of charismatic, apocalyptic Jewish missionaries, working to prepare their world for the impending realization of God&rsquo;s promises to Israel, end up inaugurating a movement that would grow into the gentile church? Committed to Jesus&rsquo;s prophecy&mdash;&ldquo;The Kingdom of God is at hand!&rdquo;&mdash;they were, in their own eyes, history&rsquo;s last generation. But in history&rsquo;s eyes, they became the first Christians. &#160; In this electrifying social and intellectual history, Paula Fredriksen answers this question by reconstructing the life of the earliest Jerusalem community. As her account arcs from this group&rsquo;s hopeful celebration of Passover with Jesus, through their bitter controversies that fragmented the movement&rsquo;s midcentury missions, to the city&rsquo;s fiery end in the Roman destruction of Jerusalem, she brings this vibrant apostolic community to life. Fredriksen offers a vivid portrait both of this temple'centered messianic movement&#160;and of the bedrock convictions that animated and sustained it.
