Contrary to the popular perception that early Christians withdrew from society and sought to maintain a low profile, this outstanding study explores the complexities of the positive commitments made by Christians in Gentile regions of the Roman empire.Winter, Bruce W. is the author of 'Seek the Welfare of the City Christians As Benefactors and Citizens' with ISBN 9780802840912 and ISBN 0802840914.
