Synopsis

This anthology offers a choice selection of writings by one of the twentieth centurys premier church historians, Sir Henry Chadwick. Many of Chadwicks considerable contributions to a fuller understanding of the early church were unpublished or not circulated widely during his lifetime, but here they are compiled in a convenient, accessible form. Reflecting Chadwicks wide-ranging expertise, this volume contains his essays on a variety of themes pertaining to the early church, including the emerging faiths relationship to classical culture; the interaction between piety, politics, and theology; councils in the early church; the power of music in the church; and more. As relevant for the study of early Christianity today as when they were first written, Chadwicks essays remain a valuable resource for better understanding the church both past and present, shedding light on ecumenical problems that still keep Christians visibly divided.|This anthology offers a choice selection of writings by one of the twentieth centurys premier church historians, Sir Henry Chadwick.
