This thorough, well-sourced history of the early Christian church
follows its origins in the Apostolic Age, through its growth during
and after the collapse of the Roman Empire. The author treats the
death of Christ as the starting point for his examination of
Christianity's initial rise to prominence via the work of the
apostles. Originally commanding only a small following in what is
today Israel and its immediate surroundings, the movement grew
rapidly despite being banned as heresy by the Roman authorities.
Through disparate and spread over a wide area, early Christians
were organized; the teachings of Jesus were spread by devoted,
literate believers who commonly held copies of the New Testament
and other lore. Great milestones in the history of Christianity,
such as the Emperor Constantine's adoption of the faith, as well as
the conflicts between different groups of believers, are examined.
The emergence of the Catholic church, and the formal papal office
of the Bishop of Rome, is detailed.
