The book explores the problems faced by the church in Antioch in the mid-first century CE once the decision was taken to welcome Gentiles into the church. Slee argues that a particular problem was the celebration of the Eucharist, since some Jewish Christians felt that the table-fellowship this involved inevitably brought the risk of contamination (because of Gentile contact with idolatry). She suggests this was the subject debated at the Jerusalem conference described in Acts 15 and Galatians 2, and it was the eventual decision of the Antioch church to hold separate Eucharists that led to Paul's break with the church (Gal 2:11-14). Thus even at the end of the first century CE the Antioch church was still divided on the issue.

Jonathan Parker
3.0 out of 5 stars Good Recent Work on Subject
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2013
1 - I disagree with the conclusion of the book, which definitely has some affect on my view of the book.
2A - THIS IS A WORTHY READ ON THE SUBJECT, though others have taken up the subject of the Acts-Galatians/Antioch Incident issue elsewhere. M. Slee does a good job at bringing together other works on this subject, so this is a more up-to-date look in favor of an Antioch church-Paul split relationship based on an interpretation of the Galatians account as such.
2B - The general perspective of the two accounts, in Acts and in Galatians, of Paul's Jerusalem and in-Antioch experiences, does not lead to the conclusion proposed of a break in the Antioch-Paul relationship, namely due to the obvious writing of Galatians prior to Acts 18 (Paul's last Acts visit there). So a broken relationship cannot account for the visit of Paul between his 2nd & 3rd missionary journeys.
3 - M. Slee's look at the conflict issues based on this text is worth reading, as it shows a good understanding of the inter-personal issues within a community.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid and Insightful
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2005
Slee continues the work of Dunn, Sanders, Hengel, et.al. to construct the historical circumstances of the Church in Antioch based on Acts 15, Galatians 2, and extra biblical material. She then demonstrates how this setting, based on a Jewish-Christian conflict with Gentile-Christians over the requirements for tablefellowship, influenced the construction of the Didache and Matthean text. Highly recommended for scholars and congregational leaders who look at the early church for inspiration.
