Review: "The value of this study lies not in providing a comprehensive narrative of the origins and growth of the early church. It lies in critically examining key historical issues in sustained conversation with contemporary scholarship and the ancient sources. McKechnie will be valued by both students and scholars of early Christianity as an intelligent and informed companion who offers repeated and valuable insights into this critical era of Christian beginnings."--Jacket.
Introduction : Christians from a distant perspective -- First-century Christianity : the source debate -- First-generation Christianity -- Initial growth, incipient persecution -- The second Christian generation -- Second- and third-century Christianity : another source debate -- Persecution and anti-Christian polemic -- An enclave : Caesar's palace -- Gnosticism and Christian diversity -- Women and Christianity -- The great persecution and Constantine.
