At the time of his death in May 1952 Dom Gregory Dix left behind the manuscript of this book, which it had been his intention to rewrite and expand. The material contained in it he had originally prepared for lectures delivered at the University of Uppsala in February 1950, and subsequently revised for delivery in America.
Jew and Greek is a cultural-religious study of the early church and the many socio-cultural elements at conflict in early Christian communities. Dix addresses the many branches of Christian community and the writings that emerged in its evangelistic zeal—such as the Gospel of Mark—and the controversy between Peter and Paul.
