by Wayne Meeks, this book explores the relationship between the earliest Christians and the city environment. Experts in classics, early Christianity, and human geography analyze the growth, development, and self-understanding of the early Christian movement in urban settings.

They then turn to how the earliest Christians thought and theologized in their engagement with cities. With a rich variety of expertise and scholarship,
is an important contribution to the understanding of early Christianity.
