- In this volume the author "introduces us to the world of the early church. Beginning with the Jewish, Greek, and Roman cultures in which the first followers of Jesus lived and worshipped, she explores the development of the church's theology, worship, leadership, and moral life during the first six centuries. How did a small group of believers on the margins of Judaism emerge as the established religion of the Roman Empire ? It is this story of religious fervour, theological controversy, and persecution that shaped the church of Christendom in the middle ages and established apostolic tradition" -- back cover.
