Description

Explore the origins of faith in one of the most important intellectual centers of the ancient world. While Alexandria was a hub for Hellenic learning, the specific arrival and growth of Christianity during the late first and early second century CE remains a complex subject. This volume by M. David Litwa provides a new perspective on this era. By utilizing underused data from the Nag Hammadi codices and early Christian writings, the author reveals the work of creative theologians who shaped early Christianities in Alexandria. This research predates the well-known era of Origen and the third-century catechetical school, offering a look at a previously overlooked period of development. Readers will follow a clear and precise trace of the theological connections between Philo and later religious figures. This book is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of Hellenic thought and early Christian theology, providing a deep look into the intellectual foundations of the Mediterranean world.
