About This Book

The work surveys the Christian church’s development from its preparation and beginnings through subsequent institutional and doctrinal growth. It defines the church’s nature and mission, outlines the aims of church history, and adopts a period scheme organized by shifting cultural phases. Coverage moves from preparatory and apostolic material into the ancient church, the medieval synthesis of classical and Christian thought, and later developments following the Reformation. It also treats sources and auxiliary disciplines and offers selected bibliographic guidance for English readers, all presented in a scholarly, pedagogical style intended for use as a revised university textbook.
