3.0 out of 5 stars A Good intro but leaves out important facts, November 18, 2003
This review is from: A Short History of the Early Church (Paperback)
I like the style. The contents in outline form, maps and capsule coverage of each topic.

The Nicene Creed should have been covered and the argument with the Filioque clause.

Some discussion of the Liturgy would have been nice and its similarity to the Jewish Service.

4.0 out of 5 stars A quick rundown on church history during the first century, February 11, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: A Short History of the Early Church (Paperback)
Consise but informative review of events.

Lacks referencing and a detailed description of the author and his ability to write on the subject.

All in all a good starting point for those interested in the events and people of the early christian? Church.
