Formation and Struggles: The Church AD 33–450 (The Church in History Series, Vol. I, Part 1) By Veselin Kesich
From the small band of disciples in Jerusalem to a faith that spanned the Roman Empire, the early Church was forged in fire. In this volume, Veselin Kesich traces the dramatic "growing pains" of early Christianity—its painful separation from Judaism, its battle against Gnosticism, and its deepening loyalty to the apostolic tradition.
Bridging the gap between scholarly rigor and general interest, this book tackles the perennial questions that challenge believers and skeptics alike:
Did Jesus marry?
Who was truly responsible for the crucifixion?
How were the Scriptures compiled?
What is the relationship between philosophy and theology?
The volume concludes with the unifying vision of St. Irenaeus of Lyons, presenting a model of the Church shaped by ministry, canon, and creed—a solid foundation that would sustain the faith for centuries to come.
