Excerpt from Primitive Catholicism
We must confess, however, that it is not without some timidity we approach the study of these two centuries of primitive history, seeing that the documentary evidence, abundant as it is, gives us but a faint idea of the early Chris tian life, so varied, so complex, so deep! How much light we should be deprived Of, had not the Epistles of St. Ignatius and the Apologies of St. Justin been preserved!

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history of early Christianity, tracing the development of the Catholic Church from its origins to the time of St. Cyprian in the 3rd century. The author meticulously examines the emergence of key Catholic doctrines and institutions, exploring their continuity with the teachings and practices of the apostolic age. Through a close reading of historical documents and engaging with prominent scholarly debates, the author sheds light on the unique character of early Christian communities. The analysis challenges the notion that Catholicism was a later invention, instead arguing that Christianity was "born Catholic" with inherent elements of faith, hierarchy, and a unified structure evident from its earliest days. This book explores the intricate relationship between early Christianity and Judaism, the role of the apostles in shaping the Church's structure, and the challenges posed by heresies and internal disputes. The author's insights provide a nuanced understanding of the historical context in which Catholicism took root and flourished, offering valuable perspectives on the Church's identity and enduring legacy.
