Description
Christianity’s initial expansion was a phenomenon of the apostolic generation (30-70 AD). However, the first evangelization would not have had a lasting effect if the Christian beliefs and lifestyle had not been rooted in the communities of Jesus’ followers.
The work of consolidation was the mission of the following generation (70-110), which continued the task started by the first missionaries.
By analyzing a concrete case, the author studies the role played by the second Christian generation, who can be traced thanks to two complementary, yet very different pieces of evidence: the First Letter of Peter and one of the letters of Pliny the Young to Trajan.

Ediciones Sígueme
Ediciones Sígueme, Spain’s Nacional Award for Best Publishing House in 2005, is a publishing house of Christian inspiration whose goal is the creation of a more fully human, brotherly, and universal culture, open to transcendent values. 1948 can be considered as the official founding date of the publishing house, when it was inscribed under the trademark «Sígueme». It was at the end of the sixties when the present project of the publishing house began its true development. The defining event in this process was the Second Vatican Council. The renewal espoused by the Council led to the creation of different series (Library of Biblical Studies, Truth and Image, Hermeneia…) which are still published nowadays. It also gave origin to the spirit of openness and plurality in the study of the religious phenomenon, one of the characteristic features of the publishing house. From its inception to the present year Ediciones Sígueme has published more than 2000 titles. They are a valuable service to the Church, our society and the Spanish culture.
