Abstract

Meissner continues his previous studies on early Christianity with this paper on the impact of Hellenism on the evolution of the early church. He discusses historical, social, and cultural influences while highlighting underlying psychological forces which gave the early church a cultic influence. He utilizes his concept of the paranoid process as the organizing focus of this study.
