After 95 A.D. the Apostles are gone; the Church is in the hands of people who never knew Jesus personally. How can an "apostolic" Church function without Apostles? How will the gospel survive confrontations with pagan thinkers as well as with opponents who call themselves Christian? Something more than the emerging New Testament is needed because learned and holy men can--and--do give the same Scripture passage diametrically opposed meanings. And something more than episcopal authority is needed because bishops can--and do--disagree. The search for this "something more" is the fascinating story behind the early Church. And the benchmarks of this unique tale are the great Creeds of Nicaea. Constantinople and Chalcedon. From the early second century "rules of faith" to the late sixth century Apostle's Creed, the author describes the creative interplay between the simple faith of ordinary believers and the lofty theological debates o the great names of Church history. This is the 500 year story of "people like you and me who tried to express in their ordinary lives the gospel's central teaching. "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us." Fully indexed, with map, clear and comprehensive timelines and a glossary of terms.

The history of Catholicism is the history of Christian faith. Anthony E. Gilles traces its development—from its beginnings in hushed gatherings within the Roman Empire to its current size and influence—in an accessible and enjoyable style. A revised and updated compilation of the history volumes from his best-selling People of God series, this book will help you understand how the Church developed in relation to, or in rebellion against, the larger culture. It details centuries of crucial turning points from the development of apostolic succession to the implementation of the reforms of Vatican II. Complete with maps, timelines and special "focus" sections on important events and issues, this valuable resource belongs in the collection of every student of Church history.
