The Early Church by Henry Chadwick
A concise, scholarly survey of Christianity’s first centuries that traces its roots in Judaism, its rapid spread through the Roman world, and the gradual formation of doctrine, liturgy, and church institutions. It examines key figures, texts, and controversies, the rise of episcopal authority and monastic movements, and the church’s adaptation to persecution and imperial power, showing how these developments laid the foundations for medieval and later Christianity.
