"Presenting an accessible, well-organized and crisply written summary of life and thought in the early patristic period, Laurie Guy's Introducing Early Christianity has done what should have been done a long time ago. The blossoming evangelical hunger for deeper grounding in the history, beliefs, traditions and practices of the ancient church will find much needed nourishment here." (Christopher Hall, Eastern University) . The discussion is easy to understand without being simplistic, scholarly without being obscure. If there's a book to put into the hands of those entering this fascinating era for the first time, this is the one." (Nicholas Perrin, Wheaton College)"Laurie Guy has written an informative, accessible and interesting introduction to the world of the early Christian community
. Laurie Guy is lecturer in church history and New Testament at Carey Baptist College, Auckland, New ZealandBaptism and Eucharist, asceticism and monasticism, and the developing roles of women unfold in this thematic account of the rise of Great Tradition Christianity. Here from Laurie Guy is an introduction to Christianity of the first four centuries that is readable but not lightweight, interesting but not superficial, informative but not technical. But the living pulse of early Christian life, worship and controversy is too often submerged beneath the text of standard introductions to early Christian history. The life and times of the early church were every bit as exciting as our own. It is a welcome supplement to chronological histories of the early church, a vantage point from which readers may sit aloft and view the broad patterns in the historical terrain. Richly illustrated and filled out with maps, charts and close-up windows on related topics, Introducing Early Christianity will inform the curious and enliven courses in early church history.. From the apostolic fathers to the great ecumenical councils, we see the church undergoing persecution and martyrdom and then rising to favor under Constantine, shaping its ministry and order while worshiping and developing its understanding of doctrineI can't speak highly enough about this book. Okay, when I first came across this book I was hesitant about buying it because a paperback version isn't available. Leading the Learning Organization is one of the first books I read as a graduate student and has remained a staple in my MBA library. I loved the first one and this one was just as good. I loved seeing the flakes of many of my flake family, but even if I didn't know about Flakeville, your book would still be fanciful and fabulous. Braly's book after his wife's medical problems had failed to resolve by traditional and expensive medicals treatments. Kennedy a month later.Due to these flaws, I would not recommend this book for children. This is the piano part ONLY. I think we could do some of the exercises together and have a lot of fun! As I get farther into the book I will come back and add to this post and give even more details! I would definitely recommend this book-I think it is designed for artists of any level to find inspiration and there are just tons of eye candy photos through out! Get this book!7/1/14 Just had to add a note I LOVE THE SPIRAL BINDING!!!!!!!!!! SO thoughtful!!!!IMHO I think al- Title : Introducing Early Christianity: A Topical Survey of Its Life, Beliefs and Practices
