Publisher's Synopsis
The early church followed Christ under much cultural, theological and political pressure. Jesus Christ wrote to the seven churches in order to counsel them, correct their ways and consolidate their faith. Do Jesus' letters to the first century seven churches of Asia Minor have any relevance for the modern church? How did the early church cope with pressure to conform? How did these churches view themselves, and how did Jesus view them? These questions are explored in detail by explaining the political, cultural and theological context of the first century AD.
