Early Christian Families in Context: An Interdisciplinary Dialogue Paperback - 2003
by David L. Balch (Editor); Carolyn A. Osiek (Editor)
First line
While Saint Paul awaited trial in Neronian Rome, so legend has it, he lodged in a house in the Southern Campus Martius.
From the rear cover
Typical studies of marriage and family in the early Christian period focus on very limited evidence found in Scripture. This interdisciplinary book offers a broader, richer picture of the first Christian families by drawing together research by experts ranging from archaeologists to ancient historians.
By exploring the nature of households in the ancient Greco-Roman world, the contributors assemble a new understanding of ancient Christian families that is both compelling and instructive. Divided into six parts, the book covers key aspects of ancient family life, from meals and child-rearing to women's roles and the lives of slaves. Three concluding chapters explore the implications of all this information for theological education today.
