ICR NO. 39 - THE MARKETING OF CHRISTIANITY
The Evolution of Early Christian Doctrine



Octagon Press, London

The personalities of the first followers of Jesus, and the environment in which they were working, helped to shape the faith we regard today as Christianity. The story of early Christianity is instructive as a case study of the almost inevitable process following the death of a teacher. However carefully guarded the message, the individual obsessions and preoccupations of his followers are bound to leave a mark and may finally replace the content of that teaching itself. This is one of several selected monographs presented by the Institute for Cultural Research (London).
