Title How much do we really know about the lives of early Christ followers?
 
Creator Osiek, Carolyn
 
Subject New Testament; social history Family; early church; house churches
Description We know very little about the everyday life of Christ believers in the first years. What can be extrapolated from other ancient sources must be combined with the minimal evidence from Christian sources. The two major rituals, baptism and Eucharist, may have been celebrated quite differently than we imagine. The lives of families must be seen as context for these celebrations.
