Joy in Early Christianity

Joy in Ancient Christianity: A Study of Joy in the Apostolic and Proto-Orthodox Communities by Jesús Zamora is a work that investigates how joy was experienced and understood in early Christian communities, from the 1st century to the first half of the 2nd century. Through an innovative and rigorous approach, the author analyzes classical sources and new historiographical currents on emotions, ranging from the Pauline epistles to the proto-orthodox communities of Rome, Antioch, and Smyrna, exploring how joy was intrinsically linked to the Christian theological worldview and its evolution over time.
