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. 606 $aChurch$xHistory of doctrines$yEarly church, ca. 30-600$vSources 615 0$aChurch$xHistory of doctrines 676 $a270.1 701 $aMcKinion$b Steven A$g(Steven Alan)$01577664 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783046803321 996 $aLife and practice in the early church$93856474 997 $aUNINA
