This two-volume theological history presents a comprehensive account of the formation and expansion of the Christian Church from its apostolic origins to the rise of Constantine. Philip Carrington, Archbishop of Quebec, argues that Christianity’s institutional and doctrinal foundations were shaped by its engagement with Greco-Roman society, Jewish tradition, and internal theological disputes. Volume I traces the development of early communities, liturgical practices, and missionary activity; Volume II illustrates the Church’s consolidation of authority, emergence of episcopal structures, and doctrinal conflicts leading to orthodoxy. Carrington instructs readers in the historical and spiritual dimensions of ecclesiastical evolution, grounding his narrative in scripture, patristic writings, and classical sources.
