Description

The Story of Christianity: Volume 1 The Early Church to the Dawn of the Reformation by Justo L. Gonzalez This fully revised and updated edition tells the story of Christianity from its fragile beginnings to its dominant presence at the dawn of the Protestant Reformation. González skillfully weaves together the lives of prominent figures, tracing core theological issues and developments within the various traditions of the church. As the church navigated its early years, it faced numerous challenges and opportunities that shaped its future direction. Recent archaeological discoveries have shed new light on the early Christian communities, including the recovery of Gnostic texts that reveal a richer diversity of "Christianities" in the first century. González also explores the significant role of women throughout the history of the church. With lively storytelling and incorporating the latest research, this book provides a fascinating introduction to the panoramic history of Christianity.
