John Anthony McGuckin, one of the world's leading scholars of
ancient Christianity, has synthesized a lifetime of work to produce
the most comprehensive and accessible history of the Christian
movement during its first thousand years. The Path of Christianity
takes readers on a journey from the period immediately after the
composition of the Gospels, through the building of the earliest
Christian structures in polity and doctrine, to the dawning of the
medieval Christian establishment. McGuckin explores Eastern and
Western developments simultaneously, covering grand intellectual
movements and local affairs in both epic scope and fine detail. The
Path of Christianity is divided into two parts of twelve chapters
each. Part one treats the first millennium of Christianity in
linear sequence, from the second to the eleventh centuries. In
addition to covering key theologians and conciliar decisions,
McGuckin surveys topics like Christian persecution, early
monasticism, the global scope of ancient Christianity, and the
formation of Christian liturgy. Part two examines key themes and
ideas, including biblical interpretation, war and violence,
hymnography, the role of women, attitudes to wealth, and early
Christian views about slavery and sexuality. McGuckin gives the
reader a sense of the real condition of early Christian life, not
simply what the literate few had to say. Written for student and
scholar alike, The Path of Christianity is a lively, readable, and
masterful account of ancient Christian history, destined to be the
standard for years to come.
