Book Description
The book explores the problems faced by the church in Antioch in the mid-first century CE once the decision was taken to welcome Gentiles into the church. Slee argues that a particular problem was the celebration of the Eucharist, since some Jewish Christians felt that the table-fellowship this involved inevitably brought the risk of contamination (because of Gentile contact with idolatry). She suggests this was the subject debated at the Jerusalem conference described in Acts 15 and Galatians 2, and it was the eventual decision of the Antioch church to hold separate Eucharists that led to Paul's break with the church (Gal 2:11-14). Thus even at the end of the first century CE the Antioch church was still divided on the issue.

Book Description
This book is a comprehensive survey of the history and, more particularly, of the thought of Antioch from the second to the eighth centuries of the Christian era. Dr Wallace-Hadrill traces the religious background of Antiochene Christianity and examines in detail aspects of its intellectual life: the exegesis of scripture, the interpretation of history, philosophy, and the doctrine of the nature of God as applied to an understanding of Christ and man's salvation. The community at Antioch stressed history and literalism, in self-conscious opposition to the tendency to allegorise that prevailed at Alexandria. While insisting on the divinity of Christ, they were equally adamant that no other doctrine should be allowed to compromise their central belief that Jesus was really human.

Book Description
First published in 1976, Paul Johnson’s exceptional study of Christianity has been loved and widely hailed for its intensive research, writing, and magnitude—“a tour de force, one of the most ambitious surveys of the history of Christianity ever attempted and perhaps the most radical” (New York Review of Books). In a highly readable companion to books on faith and history, the scholar and author Johnson has illuminated the Christian world and its fascinating history in a way that no other has. Johnson takes off in the year AD 49 with his namesake the apostle Paul. Thus beginning an ambitious quest to paint the centuries since the founding of a little-known ‘Jesus Sect’, A History of Christianity explores to a great degree the evolution of the Western world. With an unbiased and overall optimistic tone, Johnson traces the fantastic scope of the consequent sects of Christianity and the people who followed them. Information drawn from extensive and varied sources from around the world makes this history as credible as it is reliable. Invaluable understanding of the framework of modern Christianity—and its trials and tribulations throughout history—has never before been contained in such a captivating work.

Book Description
Antioch was a key city in the history of Christian-Jewish relations; it was there that Christianity evolved as a religion separate from Judaism. The city was also the site of a longtime, ongoing conflict with Jews from the Hellenistic period, which sometimes erupted in anti-Jewish riots. In the 3th-4th centuries, Christian homilists attacked not only the Jews but also the Judaeo-Christians in Antioch. In the time of the Emperor Julian, a reconciliation took place between official paganism and Judaism, but there was an anti-Jewish backlash in Antioch after the death of the emperor in 363. It was in this atmosphere that John Chrysostom preached his "Adversus Judaeos" sermons. Argues that the homilies against the Jews attest not so much to the anti-Jewish atmosphere in Antioch as to the widespread Christian infatuation with Judaism. Ch. 2 (p. 53-57) presents a few archaeological sources relating to the situation of Jews in Antioch. Chs. 3-4 (p. 59-81) describe nine letters (out of more than 1,500 extant letters) of Libanius, a resident of Antioch, relating to the relations of Jews with non-Jews. Ch. 5 (p. 83-127) presents an English translation of Chrysostom's homilies no. 1 and 8 against the Jews.
