Early Christian Thought in Its Jewish Context (1996) is a collection of essays in honor of Morna Dorothy Hooker, edited by John M.G. Barclay and John P.M. Sweet.

Abstract

"The theme of this volume is that of continuity and discontinuity between early Christianity and its Jewish parent. The formation of Christian thought in the context of its Jewish beginnings is currently the focus of much debate and controversy. These essays cover the historical and social background of Palestine and the Diaspora; the main components of the New Testament canon and early non-canonical writings, examining their relationship to the Jewish tradition; and central themes including monotheism and Christology, apocalyptism, ethics, and martyrdom. The concise treatments, with their helpful bibliographies, by an international team of experts will be of interest and value to teachers and undergraduate students of the New Testament and Christian origins. It puts a new complexion on the relationship between Judaism and the convictions of the early Christians, and will stimulate discussion."--Publisher description.
