{"product_id":"christianity-in-the-first-and-kevin-douglas-hill-9781948048644","title":"Christianity in the First and Second Centuries: Essential Readings","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the first and second centuries, the early church flourished in literary activity. A variety of writings collectively named the Apostolic Fathers give us insight into the early church's diverse life, developing theology, and biblical interpretation. Another group of writers known as the apologists defended the faith against outsiders and defended the church's rights from infringements by the Roman empire. Editor Kevin Douglas Hill has curated essential readings from these earliest writings of the church outside the New Testament. Readers will encounter the concerns and perspectives of early Christians in their own words as they wrote in service of the early church. With an authoritative and accessible introduction by Paul Foster, short entries providing context for each major text, fully revised translations in contemporary English, and appendices with readings on the early church's Greco-Roman context, this reader will serve students of the Bible, church history, and theology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kevin Douglas Hill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1948048647\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781948048644\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fontes Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.72d","brand":"Kevin Douglas Hill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075016454399,"sku":"9781948048644","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0c999c5b-6ea2-413d-add1-62a7a6a3b0ac.jpg?v=1685457118","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/christianity-in-the-first-and-kevin-douglas-hill-9781948048644","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
