Description

Exploring the key documents, authors and themes of Early Christian traditions, this volume traces the vital trajectories of emerging distinctive Christian identity in the Graeco-Roman world. Special attention is given to the coherent growth of Christian faith in connection with worship, alongside the crucial transformation of Christian life and doctrine under the Christian Emperors.

As well as offering a chronological development of the Early Church, the book examines the interaction between Christian worship and faith. In addition, readers interested in systematic theology can refer to chapters on the roots of some significant theological notions in Christian Antiquity, also with reference to ancient philosophy. Issues addressed include:

Distinctiveness of the Christian identity during the first centuries
Diversity of communities and their theologies
Connection between faith and worship
Transition from the persecuted minority to triumphant Church with Creeds
History of early Christian thought and modern systematic theology

This handbook provides a fresh and engaging perspective, moving beyond traditional history of doctrine to focus on the lived experiences and struggles of early Christian communities. It appeals to laypersons, clergy, and scholars alike by highlighting issues such as community organisation, roles of women and marginalized groups, and unity within diversity. Praised by scholars from Claremont Graduate University and the University of Oxford, it is considered an essential, rich resource for anyone studying early Christianity, theology, and spirituality.
