Whether taken as a book of faith or a cultural artifact, the New Testament is among the most significant writings the world has ever known, its web of meaning relied upon by virtually every major writer in the last 2,000 years.

Step back to Christianity's first three centuries to see how it transitioned from the religion of Jesus to a religion about Jesus.
