Discover the Hidden History and Untold Origins of the Early Church

Have you ever wondered how a small, persecuted movement in the first century grew into a global faith that reshaped human history?

In A Dawn of Christianity: Understanding Faith and Formation in the First Four Centuries, author Chandra Pettiford delivers an engaging, thoroughly researched, and accessible account of the dynamic first 400 years of the Christian faith. From ancient Messianic prophecies to the rise of the Roman Empire, this book provides a rich, wholesome look into your spiritual heritage.

Inside this comprehensive historical journey, you’ll discover:

• The Prophetic Foundations: How over 300 Old Testament prophecies set the stage for the arrival of the Messiah.

• The Life & Historical Reality of Jesus: A detailed look at the political, religious, and social climate of first-century Judea and Galilee under Roman rule.

• The Birth of the Church: The explosive growth during the Apostolic Age, key leadership decisions, and the crucial roles played by early women and men of faith.

• Faith Under Fire: How believers endured fierce Roman persecutions—from Nero’s scapegoating to Diocletian’s Great Persecution—and the powerful rise of Christian martyrdom.

• Heretics, Sects, and the Canon: The emergence of Gnosticism, Docetism, and Marcionism, and how the Church developed the authentic New Testament canon.

• Imperial Transformation: The dramatic turning point of Emperor Constantine, the Edict of Milan, and the monumental councils of Nicaea (AD 325) and Constantinople (AD 381).
