THE EARLY CHURCH
-
The Background to the Early Church and its birth and rapid growth.
This week we will examine the setting into which the Christian Church emerged. We will look at the factors that both assisted and hindered its growth.
We will also examine two significant documents of the early church, the Letter of the Church of Rome to the Corinthian church (later claimed to have been written by Clement) and the Didache.
