Global Church, The : The First Eight Centuries : From Pentecost through the Rise of Islam
Outline : The Christian church of the early centuries spread throughout much of Asia, Africa, and Europe, spoke many languages, was situated within diverse cultural settings, and had varied worship practices; yet it maintained a vital unity on core teachings at the heart of the Christian faith. Author Donald Fairbairn helps readers understand both the variety and unity of the church in this pivotal era by:
- Highlighting Christian communities outside the Roman Empire, as far afield as Persia and India, alongside those within it
- Identifying key events by their global, not merely Western, significance and taking into account early Christian interactions with other religions, particularly Islam
The Global Church--The First Eight Centuries is an ideal introduction to the formative centuries of Christian history that broadens the narrative often recounted and places it more firmly in its varied cultural contexts.
