A Classic in the Truest Sense

I absolutely love this book. Unfortunately it is out-of-print. Dr. Bruce guides you through the early history of the Church using Acts as his backdrop. If you want to get a real feel for the evangelistic fervor of the Apostles and the early Christians you NEED to read this tome.

Anything by F. F. Bruce is excellent!

As a student of early Christian history, I was thoroughly satisfied by Bruce's treatment of how the early Christian church evolved. He supplies the needed cultural and historical knowledge of the times which formed the seedbed for church practices today. Well worth the price and a "must have" sourcebook.
