Primitive Christianity And Its Non-Jewish Sources (1912)

Primitive Christianity And Its Non-Jewish Sources is a book written by German theologian Carl Clemen and first published in 1912. The book explores the origins of Christianity and its relationship to non-Jewish sources, particularly the religions and philosophies of the ancient Mediterranean world. Clemen argues that early Christianity was influenced by a variety of non-Jewish sources, including Greek philosophy, mystery religions, and Gnosticism. He also examines the role of Jewish culture and tradition in shaping early Christian beliefs and practices. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the intellectual and cultural context in which Christianity emerged and offers insights into the complex and multifaceted nature of the religion. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students of early Christianity, religious studies, and intellectual history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
