5.0 out of 5 stars
Best book I've read on early Christianity.,
By Tunes Plus (Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Beginnings of the Church (Paperback)
I've read several books about the historical Jesus and the early church. For me, this is the best. Einstein said that a good theory should be as simple as possible but no simpler. This book does a great job of presenting a coherent overview of how history and culture shaped the development of the first Christian communities without getting bogged down in every fact or conjecture. The author, a Catholic priest, is respectful of the belief in Jesus' divinity, but this does not bias his focus on how Christianity evolved from Judiasm. Both belivers and non-belivers should find this book insightful and compelling.

This review is from: The Beginnings of the Church (Paperback)
As a Pastoral Minister and Catechetical leader I have read many books on the Church over the years. I wish I would have read this book years ago. This is one of the foremost accounts of the early Christian/Catholic church. It was clear, consise and written with scholarly conviction. This book will be my primary reference when teaching Church history and Christology.
