A Slow Walk with Early Christians: 90 Devotional Meditations on the Lives of Christians before AD 313 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798991693622)

One might ask, "Applying personal poetry like the Psalms to my life is easy, but history? Is the history of early Christians relevant to my spiritual walk?" Even though the world today is quite different from the Roman empire, many of the spiritual challenges are the same.
A Slow Walk with Early Christians: 90 Devotional Meditations on the Lives of Christians before AD 313 is a collection of meditations in daily-devotional format, slowly walking through selected stories about Christians who lived between Pentecost and AD 313. The Edict of Milan by Constantine in AD 313 ended persecution of Christians in the Roman empire.
Instead of evaluating historical evidence or analyzing the theology of early authors, A Slow Walk with Early Christians: 90 Devotional Meditations on the Lives of Christians before AD 313 draws spiritual applications from the lives of early Christians and related Scriptures. This approach will appeal to those who like a historical-person style of devotional Bible study where meditations are based on incidents in the lives of historical people that illustrate biblical principles.
Almost all the Christians featured in these meditations are honored as "Saints" by the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. Most details are based on tradition, rather than historical records.
The Christian Standard Bible, a modern translation by evangelical scholars, is the primary translation. Notes document sources for each story. There is also an index of Scriptures references and meditation titles.
