The Urban World and the First Christians

In the tradition of The First Urban Christians by Wayne Meeks, this
book explores the relationship between the earliest Christians and the city
environment. Experts in classics, early Christianity, and human geography
analyze the growth, development, and self-understanding of the early Christian
movement in urban settings.
The book's contributors first look at how the urban physical,
cultural, and social environments of the ancient Mediterranean basin affected
the ways in which early Christianity progressed. They then turn to how the
earliest Christians thought and theologized in their engagement with cities.
With a rich variety of expertise and scholarship, The Urban World and the First
Christians is an important contribution to the understanding of early
Christianity.
