Providing a history of the rise and development of the Christian doctrine and practice from Jesus (including pre-Christian background information) to the death of Pope Gregory I in AD 604. Frend offers a very readable and thorough account of the early church, giving an especially thoughtful explanation of the historical development of Christian theology. A
A New Eusebius: Documents Illustrating the History of the Church to Ad 337 (SPCK Church History) by J. Stevenson
A useful and readily usable primary source document book that provides illustrations and first hand record of church history – from church historians and papal decrees. A New Eusebius begins in the NT era and continues to AD 337, where Creeds, Councils, and Controversies begins at 337 and continues to 461. Stevenson’s works offer access to primary documents from every major period, controversy, and happening in the early church. Great resource. A-
Very interesting argument that, on the whole, the early church succeeded by avoiding martyrdom more than some heretical groups.
One of the best introductions to the formative years of Christianity
