Summary:

Early Christian writings form a body of literature that has shaped Western culture as a whole, as the authors demonstrate in this comprehensive book. The first six centuries of Christian experience impacted art and developed a philosophy that faced opposition, resolved internal conflicts, transposed itself into medieval civilization and continues to influence culture today. This two volume edition available for the first time in English organizes the material in chronological order. The books also includes a general bibliography, and each volume includes an index of authors and anonymous works.

Contents:

v. 1. From Paul to the age of Constantine

v. 2. From the Council of Nicea to the beginnings of the medieval period.
