Where did Christianity come from?Acclaimed author Gregory Riley embarks on a remarkable journey in this readable and persuasive account of the origins of Christianity. Riley demonstrates that early Christians held widely differing beliefs about God; Jesus; the Devil; and the human soul; and follows these beliefs back to their sources in Greek science and philosophy and the religions of the ancient Middle East. An expert on the context in which Christianity arose; Riley maps out a new understanding of the forging of Christianity; and conveys a vital message for today about the true nature of Christian faith as inherently diverse.
