Rather than focusing on theology, these original documents shed light on how early believers ""did church,"" addressing such practical questions as, how did the church administer baptism? How were sermons delivered? How did the early church carry out its missions endeavors?. Early Christian writings reveal a great deal about the tradition, as well as the wider culture in which it developed.ChurchHistory of doctrinesEarly church, ca. 30-600SourcesChurchHistory of doctrines270.1McKinion Steven A(Steven Alan)1577664AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910783046803321Life and practice in the early church3856474UNINA
