Paul Trebilco bezieht in seine Untersuchung der frühen Christen in Ephesus alle Fundstellen von Paulus bis Ignatius mit ein und diskutiert sie im Kontext unseres Wissens von diese Stadt. Auf die Briefe des Paulus und auf die Apostelgeschichte gestützt untersucht er die Anfänge des frühchristlichen Lebens in Ephesus, sowohl vor als auch während der Paulinischen Mission. Er zeigt auch, daß es in der Zeit um 80-100 n.Chr. verschiedene Gruppierungen in Ephesus gab, die sich als Christen verstanden. Der Autor zeigt die Vielseitigkeit dieser Gruppen auf und macht deutlich, daß die Paulinischen und die Johanneischen Christen in Ephesus getrennte Gemeinden waren, die sich allerdings nicht feindlich gegenüberstanden. Schließlich werden auch die Informationen, die sich bei Ignatius über die zeitgenössischen Christen in Ephesus nden, diskutiert.

It is argued that ἐκκλησία was first used by the Hellenists, probably in Jerusalem, and that it was chosen because of its strong background in thelxx. This raises the issue of why ἐκκλησία was chosen rather than συναγωγή, which occurs over twice as often in thelxx. The case is put that ἐκκλησία was chosen because συναγωγή was already in use by Jewish communities as a designation for their groups and their buildings. This view has not been argued for in detail, and the implications of this choice have not been fully explored. Through the use of ἐκκλησία the Hellenists could express their continuity with the OT ‘assembly’ of the people of God and could also distinguish themselves from other Jewish communities, without making the claim that they alone were the heirs of that people.

Scholarly assessment of Jewish communities in the Hellenistic and Graeco-Roman Diaspora has, in the past, been dominated by our knowledge of the large and influential communities in Rome and Alexandria. This book brings together the evidence for significant Jewish communities in another part of the Diaspora, namely Asia Minor. By collating archaeological, epigraphic, classical, New Testament and patristic sources, the book provides an invaluable and coherent description of the life of Jewish communities in Asia Minor, and so gives a more complete picture than was previously available of Jewish life at the time. By describing the strength, vitality and diversity of Jewish life in Asia Minor, the author is able to point to the retention of their Jewish identity by these communities, despite their close relations with the wider pagan society in which they lived. A degree of integration did not, therefore, mean the abandonment of an active attachment to Jewish tradition. The survey the book provides thus contributes to our understanding of the New Testament and of early Christianity.
