Decoding Early Christianity

Truth and Legend in the Early Church

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Who was the 'real' Jesus? How much do we really know about his disciples? This book addresses such questions and shows how the early Church Fathers and Popes interpreted competing views and traditions to produce, over time, an approved and codified view of Jesus and his followers, and developed an accepted liturgy with which to worship him.
