Title: From Jerusalem to Antioch
First published: 1997
Description: From Jerusalem to Antioch explains what happened when Jewish missioners carried the Gospel from the Jewish world of Jerusalem into the Hellenistic world of Antioch to found the first "Christian" community. It presents the results of modern research on the church of Jerusalem and the church of Antioch. Parallel chapters discuss the historical origins, the way in which they presented the Christian message, and their distinctive patterns of worship, teaching, and organization.

This case study shows how the process of transculturation of the Gospel leads the Church to a deeper understanding of the mystery that lies at its heart.
