OBERT C. TANNER, LEWIS M. ROGERS, AND STERLING M. McMURRIN
Hardback. 478 Pages. / 0-941214-76-1 / $19.95
This volume is designed as an introduction to the beginnings of Christianity and its early literature—a general, nondenominational overview of Christian and Pauline studies that is both readable and based on the best scholarship. The authors are sensitive to issues of faith, and they therefore offer solutions to readers about what is believable based on the evidence, opting for a metaphorical view of many events but not denying the validity of spirituality.
 Obert C. Tanner is the author of New Testament Studies, The New Testament Speaks and Christ’s Ideals for Living, and editor of his mother’s autobiography, A Mormon Mother. He holds a J.D. from the University of Utah and was on the faculty of Stanford before returning to Utah, where he taught religion and also founded O. C. Tanner jewelers.
 Lewis M. Rogers holds a Ph.D. from the Graduate School of Religion, University of Southern California, and is now a retired professor of philosophy, University of Utah. He is the co-editor of And More About God and has published in the professional journals relevant to his area of study.
 Sterling M. McMurrin was United States Commissioner of Education and E. E. Ericksen Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the University of Utah before his death in 1996.
