Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, an extensive two-volume work by the author, examines the doctrine of the Christian faith as it was understood and developed in its earliest centuries, particularly how the Church in its early times witnessed a shift from a simple Creed to the formulation of a doctrine concerning the nature of God, the nature and work of Christ and the inward operations of the Holy Spirit. The book's carefully sequenced chapters follow the changing apprehensions of these central doctrines from the immediacy of experience to the subtleties of theological definition. The first volume begins with a discussion of the many factors that shaped the early Church's view of Jesus Christ and then examines various forms of Gnosticism and its relationship with Christianity. The second volume begins with a consideration of some of the practical truths undergirding the faith of the early Christians, followed by an examination of the different sources of Christian knowledge. It concludes with an investigation of the early Church's approach to the questions of divine existence, the nature of God and the divinity of Christ. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the development of Christian doctrine and its ongoing impact on the Christian faith.
