A landmark work in the field of ecclesiastical history, The Early Church chronicles the rise and development of Christianity from its origins in the first century through the turbulent centuries that shaped its doctrine and institutional form. Henry Chadwick, one of the foremost authorities on patristic studies, presents a masterful account of the key figures, councils, and controversies that defined the early Christian movement, from the apostolic age through to the great theological disputes of late antiquity. With scholarly precision and an accessible tone, Chadwick details the struggles of early Christians against Roman persecution, the emergence of church hierarchy, and the formative debates over doctrine that produced the creeds still in use today. Part of the acclaimed Pelican History of the Church series, this volume remains an essential reference for students of religion, history, and philosophy alike.
