Birth of the Church cover

The first in The Monarch History of the Church, this volume explores the challenges of the Church in the period AD 30 - 312.

The Monarch History of the Church is an eight-volume series by world-renowned historians and theologians. Each volume offers an even-handed, comprehensive and readable assessment of the main strands of Christianity within its period. The first volume covers the period AD 30-312. During this time, the church experienced major challenges politically, culturally and intellectually, yet grew and defined itself in remarkable ways. Here is the story of Christianity's earliest shapers - men and women whose influence is still felt today.

`A telling account of early Christianity from Bible times down to the conversion of Constantine that is clear, readable and informed by recent scholarship.’ -- David Bebbington, Professor of History, University of Stirling
`An account of the early church that is both readable and informative, without being simplistic’ -- Gerald Bray, Anglican Professor of Divinity, Beeson Divinity School
