It is also about the complexity of the process by which a 'Christian theology' came into existence. It begins with the earliest Christian writings, moves through the development of the early Church, examines the rival traditions to Christianity, and explores the work of the key Christian theologians in both the West and the East, ending at the important Council of Chalcedon.<br /> </p> <p> Drawing on contributions from an international team of leading academics, and edited by G.

Evans, this volume is indispensable reading for undergraduate students who need a readable and accessible introduction to the theology and history of the early Christian church.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Beyond doubt this is one of the best introductions available to the English reader who is interested in the Theology of the early Church. <i>Mihail Neamtu, King's College, London</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>G.
