Article Abstract:

Religious study developed as an interdisciplinary subject in the 1960s, and has grown significantly as a result of the contributions from social sciences and humanities fields. Wayne A.

Week's analysis challenged traditional theories that the early Christianity movement was peasant-based in favour of a urban-based movement.
