• Sommario/riassunto: Life and Practice in the Early Church brings together a range of primary texts from the church's first five centuries to demonstrate how early Christians practiced their faith. 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.
