Beginning with the Jewish, Greek, and Roman cultures in which the first followers of Jesus lived and worshiped, the author explores the development of the church's theology, worship, leadership, and moral life during the first six centuries. How did a small group of believers on the margins of Judaism emerge as the established religion of the Roman Empire? It is this story of intense religious fervor, theological controversy, and persecution that shaped the church of Christendom in the middle ages and established the apostolic tradition.
