This scholarly work situates the Gospel within the broader context of early Christian writings and highlights its unique portrayal of Christ's resurrection, thus offering a window into the diversity of early Christian beliefs and the socio-religious environment of the time. Walter Richard Cassels was a notable theologian and biblical scholar whose intellectual pursuits were profoundly influenced by the historical-critical method that sought to unearth the socio-cultural contexts of scriptural texts.
