The Christian Church has continually looked to its beginnings to discover new insights and new strength for the present. Today the interest in early Christianity and its leaders is as lively as it ever was. Those who know these early days never tire in calling today’s Church back to the Scriptures and the Spirit directed history of the Church. In this book, Dr. Williams has given the preacher, teacher, and concerned layman a very readable, concise, and helpful guide to the teachings of the early Church leaders. He communicates the exciting quality of Christian theology as it came to expression in the thought and life of men to whom the Christian Church today is greatly in debt, and from whom, with humility, it can continue to learn and find inspirations. The early Church Fathers were concerned, in the words of the Apostle Peter, to make a defense to anyone who called them to account for the hope that was in them. They were concerned, as the Church is today, to understand the faith for themselves and to explain it to those outside the Church. Their answers to the following problems are still relevant: the relationship of God to all the world, redemption, the Trinity, the person of Christ, the relationship between God’s will and man’s, and the problem of church and state. Today the Church still possesses the faith that overcomes the world and seeks to practice that faith in all of life. Twentieth century Christians can be strengthened in that possession and practice through an acquaintance with the teachings of the early Church Fathers. This book will guide them.

This book is open access and available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by Knowledge Unlatched. This innovative volume focuses on the significance of early Christianity for modern means of addressing poverty, by offering a rigorous study of deprivation and its alleviation in both earliest Christianity and today's world. The contributors seek to present the complex ways in which early Christian ideas and practices relate to modern ideas and practices, and vice versa. In this light, the book covers seven major areas of poverty and its causes, benefaction, patronage, donation, wealth and dehumanization, 'the undeserving poor', and responsibility. Each area features an expert in early Christianity in its Jewish and Graeco-Roman settings, paired with an expert in modern strategies for addressing poverty and benefaction; each author engages with the same topic from their respective area of expertise, and responds to their partner's essay. Giving careful attention toboth the continuities and discontinuities between the ancient world and today, the contributors seek to inform and engage church leaders, those working in NGOs concerned with poverty, and all interested in these crucial issues, both Christian and not.

All admit that the Christians of the first five centuries believed and practised the true religion of Jesus Christ, pure and undefiled.What a blessing to be so intimately connected with the Author of all truth and the Source of all grace!What a privilege to learn the truths of salvation from the lips of the Saviour and His immediate disciples!When the Saviour departed hence He left a representative. This representative, His church, He commanded all to hear. "He that heareth you heareth Me" (Luke x., 16). This representative was to continue to the end of time. " Behold, I am with you all days " (Matt, xxvm., 20), and was to be taught all truth by the Holy Ghost. "When he the spirit of truth has come he will teach you all truth" (John xvi., 13).Consequently, the true church of today must teach the same doctrines taught by Jesus Christ and the church of the early ages of Christianity.Certain non-Catholics are just now making strong claims to Apostolic succession.On this account, many are anxious to study the teachings and practices of the early church.Those unable to consult the writings of the Fathers in the original, or such works as Waterworks Faith of Catholics and reliable church histories will, perhaps, be interested in this brief study of the early Christian life. It will, it is hoped, give those not having the leisure to consult more bulky volumes, a fair idea of the propagation, organization, writers, teachings, trials and triumphs of the early church.The primary object, however, of the following pages is to show as briefly and clearly as possible that the teachings and practices of the Catholic Church of today are identical with those of the Early Church.

How and why did the early church grow in the first four hundred years despite disincentives, harassment, and occasional persecution? In this unique historical study, veteran scholar Alan Kreider delivers the fruit of a lifetime of study as he tells the amazing story of the spread of Christianity in the Roman Empire. Challenging traditional understandings, Kreider contends the church grew because the virtue of patience was of central importance in the life and witness of the early Christians. They wrote about patience, not evangelism, and reflected on prayer, catechesis, and worship, yet the church grew--not by specific strategies but by patient ferment.
