Henry Chadwick

<DIV><I>Rare scholarly insight into the early church — still relevant for the church today</I><BR />  <BR /> This anthology offers a choice selection of writings by one of the twentieth century’s premier church historians Sir Henry Chadwick. Many of Chadwick’s considerable contributions to a fuller understanding of the early church were unpublished or not circulated widely during his lifetime but here they are compiled in a convenient accessible form.<BR />  <BR /> Reflecting Chadwick’s wide-ranging expertise this volume contains his essays on a variety of themes pertaining to the early church including the emerging faith’s relationship to classical culture; the interaction between piety politics and theology; councils in the early church; the power of music in the church; and more. As relevant for the study of early Christianity today as when they were first written Chadwick’s essays remain a valuable resource for better understanding the church both past and present shedding light on ecumenical problems that still keep Christians visibly divided.<BR /></DIV>
