Smith and Wace's magisterial A Dictionary of Christian Biography
provides an account of the figures and personalities of the early
Christian Church. Its four volumes and more than 4,000 pages
provide authoritative accounts of every person connected with the
early Christian Church, the literature connected with them, and the
controversies relating to doctrine or discipline in which they were
engaged. Articles range from extended entries on major figures such
as Constantine I, Isidore of Seville, Justinian and Tertullianus,
to entries on the Doctrine of Faith, the Apochryphal Gospels,
Predestination, the Coptic Church, and the Doctrine of the Holy
Ghost. Lesser known figures such as Esimphaeus, King of the
Homeritae in the Yemen, and Alfredus, the seventh century Bishop of
Narbonne are included. The result is a comprehensive Who was Who of
the early Church and a major contribution to our understanding of
what was done, believed and thought in the early ages of
Christianity. With a new introduction by Michael Ledger-Lomas, a
leading authority on the history of Christianity, this handsome
large format edition forms a unique and valuable resource.
