À propos de cet audio
Drawing upon the most recent discoveries and scholarship in archaeology and the first-century Near East, The Dawn of Christianity reveals how a beleaguered group of followers of a crucified rabbi became the founders of a world-changing faith.
How did Christianity truly come to be? Where did this worldwide faith come from? The Dawn of Christianity tells the story of how the first followers of Jesus survived the terror and despair of witnessing the one they knew to be the messiah - God's agent for the salvation of the world - suddenly arrested, tried, and executed. Soon after Jesus' death, his relatives and closest followers began hearing reports that Jesus was alive again - reports that even his most loyal disciples at first refused to believe.
Using the most recent studies by top Christian and secular scholars, Robert Hutchinson, known for his popular books on Christianity and biblical studies, reconstructs all of the known accounts of these early resurrection appearances and follows the witnesses to the resurrection as they experience brutal persecution at the hands of zealots such as Saul of Tarsus and then become committed evangelists to the major population centers in Antioch, Damascus, Rome, and Athens - and ultimately across the world. A riveting thriller of the most improbable history-changing movement imaginable, The Dawn of Christianity brings to life the compelling story of the birth of Christianity.

Author Was Overly Broad and General
Based on the subtext on the cover, initially, I was excited to read this book. Although this may be a common topic in Christian interests, I never get tired of hearing a new perspective on how God can use the 'misfits' and humble of society to inspire others through empathy and self-reflection. I really wanted to recommend this book but I found other books of similar subject to be more focused, inspiring and exciting. At times, I found Robert J. Hutchinson's sharing to be 'matter-of-fact', concise and terse. I do not doubt Mr. Hutchinson's passion or knowledge on the subject material; I only suggest that the subtext is misleading and the information presented in a humdrum way. Yes! Mr. Hutchinson presents individuals in challenging positions, considers their context and life circumstances, allowing the listener to glean factual information about biblical heroes which illuminates biblical scripture; but, does so in such a brief measure that I never found myself attached to the exposition. I would have preferred less assorted thematic commentary about anything Christian, and a more thorough analysis of special individuals. It is my opinion this book is various material merged together and connected painstakingly; sometimes 'it' worked and often 'it' did not. Positively, if the listener is seeking an eclectic analysis of biblical topics presented in a matter-of-fact way, then this book is recommended. Robert J. Hutchinson does present a lot of information that helps illustrate stories, truths and individuals in the Bible. I would have enjoyed the book much more if the subject was concentrated on idea of the 'misfit' and humble and God's ability to utilize them in a fresh way. Based on Mr. Hutchinson's expertise I would certainly read another book of his, I just find the Dawn of Christianity misses its' purpose by being scattered.
