The Church in Rome in the First Century: Eight Lectures

Originally presented as the Bampton Lectures for 1913, preached at the University of Oxford, Edmundson examines a variety of difficult questions related to the church in Rome to whom Paul wrote his Epistle. Looking at its founding, chronology, and history, Edumson surveys the historical context of Rome, the situation of the Jews in the city, and other issues based on texts and literature outside the New Testament. He provides an accessible, but compelling analysis of the event of the first century, as well as the larger traditions about the Roman Church that developed following the 1st century AD.
