In this book, Birger Pearson argues for the study of Christianity as "one of the religions of the world." He proposes that the study of the New Testament and the other early Christian literature be moved out of the realm of theology and into the area of comparative research of religion. The book therefore addresses the problematic of Christian origins, that is, the historical process by which a new religion, Christianity, emerges out of an older one, Second Temple Judaism. Included are studies ranging from the prehistory of Christianity (Jesus, together with an illuminating, lengthy, and detailed critical analysis of the work of the Jesus Seminar and the trends in current North American gospel research it reflects) into the New Testament and up to the fourth century. A concluding chapter presents the author's reflections on scholarly methods used in the study of the Christian religion.

Originally published in 1841, The History of the Christian Religion and Church is the most famous work written by German church historian DR. AUGUSTUS NEANDER (1789-1850). Neander finds that the introduction of Christianity caused a stir in morality and thinking in those first few hundred years that propelled civilization forward. And precisely because of the lack of institutions, early Christians had a greater freedom to explore the impact of Revelation on their souls. He discusses different Christian sects, diverging doctrines and the controversies that followed, the role of Jews in Christianity, the Gnostics, and eventually the establishment of the Church. Neander also talks separately about the great doctrines of Christianity, dealing with the nature of God, the name of God, Creation, the Trinity, and numerous other issues that have been of great concern to Christian thinkers throughout history. Anyone interested in the history of the Christianity will find a wealth of information in this well-researched book.

Excerpt from The History of the Christian Religion and Church: During the Three First Centuries The history of the Christian Church, especially in the earlier periods of existence, is a cheering subject for the contemplation of a Christian heart. It supplies a commentary, which cannot be mistaken, on the promise of our Lord, that He would be with his disciples even to the end of the world. (Matt. xxviii. 20.) The difficulties against which Christianity had at first to struggle, only serve to prove the overwhelming might of the arm which sustained it. It was to be expected that an age of corruption should put forth all its powers to crush that religion which denounced and combated it. The progress which Christianity made in spite of this opposition, constitutes one of the chief points of interest belonging to the earlier periods of ecclesiastical history. The working of that leaven, which is destined in Gods good time to leaven the whole lump, is seen most definitely at that season, when the world was exchanging its paganism for Christianity. Let any man read the first sixteen chapters of Gibbon, and then turn from that melancholy record of blood and crime to the history of the Christian Church during the same period. He will then acknowledge that there was beneath that stormy tide of passion and ambition an under current silently advancing, whose calmer and purer waters came to light, When once that troubled tide had passed away. He will see principles of action, and rules of life, the strongest and the purest ever given to man, making their way against all the persecutions of power, by their own intrinsic worth, and by the power which sustained them from above. It is in this point of view, among many others, that the early history of Christianity is fraught with such deep interest to man, and it is to be considered one of the great aims of such an history to develope this progress of the Church clearly, and delineate it with accuracy. It would be foreign to the purpose of this Preface to discuss the merits or the demerits of other ecclesiastical histories, but it may be allowable to direct attention to this particular point, as connected with the work of Dr. Neander. To develop this progress of Christianity faithfully, requires that the historian should not only possess the learning and the impartiality which are needed for all historical inquiries; but that he should unite profound and extensive views of human nature with what is of even more importance, warm feelings for the higher parts of the Christian scheme, and an eye well practised to discern the dealings of God in the world. I cannot but think that the learned and amiable author of this history unites these qualifications in no common degree; and I believe that it would be difficult to become acquainted with his works without feeling reverence for the high qualities both of head and heart which adorn their author. The present portion of the history bears testimony to his candour and acuteness, his diligence and his fidelity. His judgment also in disentangling the historical! from the fictitious in the Acta Martyrum cannot fail to strike any one, who will take the trouble to compare the details of this history with the original of the Acta Martyrum, as edited by Ruinart. To this meed of praise, high as it is, I think every impartial reader will consider the author to be entitled, but still this avowal by no means binds us to the acceptance of all the views propounded in this work.
