In this book-length investigation of these questions, Paul Trebilco explores the outsider designations that the early Christians used in the New Testament. He examines a range of terms, including unbelievers, 'outsiders', sinners, Gentiles, Jews, among others. Drawing on insights from social identity theory, sociolinguistics, and the sociology of deviance, he investigates the usage and development of these terms across the New Testament, and also examines how these outsider designations function in boundary construction across several texts. Trebilco's analysis leads to new conclusions about the identity and character of the early Christian movement, the range of relations between early Christians and outsiders, and the theology of particular New Testament authors.

In the New Testament, the heart is the centre of the inner life, including the understanding, emotions, will, and spiritual life. This is in contrast to contemporary English, where the heart is most strongly associated with the emotions alone. When Paul writes of the Spirit in connection with the human heart in Galatians 4:6, Romans 5:5, and 2 Corinthians 1:22, we can see in context that he is not simply think-ing of the heart as the centre of emotions, but also as the centre of thinking, understanding, volition, and decision-making. Accordingly, contemporary readers risk misunderstanding the depths of what Paul is saying in these verses.
