| 总结: | In this short book, Alicia Myers takes readers on a journey through the Gospels and Acts, introducing them to the world of Jesus of Nazareth and of the believers who composed and shared stories inspired by him. Myers provides overviews of context and major passages in each canonical work, and also introduces readers to the Apocryphal Gospels and Acts to demonstrate the larger phenomenon of early Christian writing. Using six themes to explore canonical and apocryphal works, Myers takes readers into the Roman world to encounter these ancient writings from new perspectives to discover their enduring relevance.
