Synopsis

Foundations of Early Christianity offers a clear, sweeping view of how doctrine, communities, and worship formed in the first six centuries.

This scholarly introduction places the ancient church within its historical context, tracing how faith took shape through persecution, debate, and the steady work of faith communities.

The volume is organized around the ancient-classic period, split into two broad arcs: the church’s beginnings and growth before the fall of the Western Empire, and the later move toward defining belief in councils and structures. It surveys key topics from the apostolic church to the development of governance, liturgy, and theology, while highlighting the enduring questions that shaped Christian life.
