Christianity and the Christian Church of the First Three Centuries
is the first volume in Baur's five-volume history of the Christian
Church. It and the last volume, Church and Theology in the
Nineteenth Century, are being published in new translations. This
book, based on the second German edition of 1860, is the most
influential and best known of Baur's many groundbreaking
publications in New Testament, early Christianity, church history,
and historical theology. It is divided into six main parts and
discusses such matters as the entrance of Christianity into world
history, the teaching and person of Jesus, the tension between
Jewish Christian and Gentile Christian (Pauline) interpretations
and their resolution in the idea of the Catholic Church, the
opposition of gnosticism and Montanism to Catholicism, the
development of dogma or doctrine in the first three centuries,
Christianity's relation to the pagan world and the Roman state, and
Christianity as a moral and religious principle.
