Synopsis

Rare scholarly insight into the early church — still relevant for the church today. This anthology offers a choice selection of writings by one of the twentieth century's premier church historians; Sir Henry Chadwick. Many of Chadwick's considerable contributions to a fuller understanding of the early church were unpublished or not circulated widely during his lifetime; but here they are compiled in a convenient; accessible form.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 Chadwick's wide-ranging expertise; this volume contains his essays on a variety of themes pertaining to the early church; including the emerging faith's 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; Chadwick's 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.
