""A History of Christianity in the Apostolic Age"" by Arthur Cushman McGiffert is a comprehensive study of the early years of Christianity, from the death of Jesus Christ to the end of the first century. The book explores the origins, growth, and development of the Christian faith during this period, examining the key figures, events, and doctrines that shaped the religion.The author begins by providing a detailed account of the life and teachings of Jesus, and the formation of the early Christian communities. He then examines the spread of Christianity throughout the Roman Empire, including the missionary activities of the apostles and the establishment of churches in various regions.McGiffert also explores the major theological debates and controversies that arose during the Apostolic Age, including the nature of Christ, the role of the Holy Spirit, and the relationship between Judaism and Christianity. He discusses the emergence of different Christian sects and the development of various Christian doctrines and practices.Throughout the book, McGiffert provides a balanced and objective account of the history of Christianity in the Apostolic Age, drawing on a wide range of primary sources and scholarly research. This makes the book an invaluable resource for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the early history of Christianity.1903. McGiffert writes in the Preface: It has been my endeavor in writing a history of Christianity in the Apostolic Age to treat the theme as a unit, and to trace the development so far as possible in its totality. The volume necessarily contains much that falls properly within the province of special works upon New Testament literature, exegesis, or theology; for the Apostolic Age is the age of the New Testament, and in the pages of the latter are found the thoughts and deeds of the leading actors in the history. But it has been my constant aim to subordinate all such special subjects to the common end, and to deal with them only in so far as they constitute a vital part of the larger whole. Contents: The Origin of Christianity; Primitive Jewish Christianity; The Christianity of Paul; The Work of Paul; The Christianity of the Church at Large; and The Developing Church.
