In <em>The Global Church--The First Eight Centuries: From Pentecost through the Rise of Islam</em>, author Donald Fairbairn helps readers understand both the variety and unity of the church in this pivotal era by: </p><ul><li>Re-centering the story of the church in its early centuries, paying greater attention to Africa, Turkey, and Syria, where most of the church's intellectual energy was nurtured</li><li>Highlighting Christian communities outside the Roman Empire, as far afield as Persia and India, alongside those within it</li><li>Identifying key events by their global, not merely Western, significance and taking into account early Christian interactions with other religions, particularly Islam</li></ul><p><em>The Global Church--The First Eight Centuries </em>is an ideal introduction to the patristic era that broadens the narrative often recounted and places it more firmly in its varied cultural contexts. Students of the early church, formal and informal alike, will appreciate the fresh approach and depth of insight this book provides.</p>
