Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a history of the rise of the Catholic Church from the 1st to the 3rd centuries CE. In examining how the Church survived and then thrived despite persecution, the author explores how the Church developed its hierarchical structure, its canon of scripture, and its central tenets of belief. The book also examines the struggle between orthodox Christianity and various early Christian sects, particularly the Gnostics, whose ideas drew on both Christianity and pagan philosophy. The author shows how the Church emerged from this period not only as the dominant religious force in the Roman Empire but as the primary means by which classical thought was transmitted to the Middle Ages. The book offers a nuanced account of a critical period in the development of Christianity and Western civilization.
