Charting the first six hundred years of the Christian movement, THE
EARLY CHRISTIAN CENTURIES carries the reader from the world of
second-temple Judaism to the Byzantine age, the rise of Islam, and
the beginnings of medieval European polities.With a combination of
rare tact and acuity, Philip Rousseau takes the measure of a
generation of scholarship on early Christianity and the late Roman
world. He stresses the importance of shifting historical
consciousness, the continuity and development of ideas, and the
urge for social respectability. Paying the greatest attention to
the 'inner' components of Christian life, the resulting story
captures fully the major figures: Paul, the gospel writers, the
early 'apologists', and the great figures of the 'patristic' age,
including the Cappadocian Fathers, Augustine and Gregory the Great.
