Publisher's Synopsis
The Founding of the Church Universal: The Beginnings of the Christian Church V2 is a book written by Hans Lietzmann that explores the origins of the Christian Church. This second volume of the series delves into the growth and development of the Church during the first few centuries after the death of Jesus Christ. Lietzmann examines the various factors that contributed to the spread of Christianity, including the role of the apostles, the influence of Jewish and pagan cultures, and the emergence of different Christian sects. He also discusses the early Church's struggle against persecution and its eventual acceptance as a legitimate religion by the Roman Empire. The book is a comprehensive and scholarly account of the early history of the Christian Church, and is an essential resource for anyone interested in the origins of Christianity.Probably no where else will readers find the crucial material concerning the church in its most formative period placed at their disposal in such graphic and authoritative form, or so closely related to secular history. Chapters on the beginning of the creeds and of the Christian liturgy are firsthand contributions of the finest quality, and the characterization of the great figures such as Tertullian and Origen, are lifelike and forceful in the highest degree.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
