Excerpt from The Early Church in the Light of the Monuments: A Study in Christian Archology
That the needs of English-speaking countries are, in these respects, exceptional, must be manifest to all. In point of treatment it seems desirable that the volumes should be popular rather than scholastic, but the Editors hope that by the selection of writers, fully competent in their special subjects, the information given may always be accurate and abreast of modern research.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines early Christian monuments to further our understanding of Christianity's foundational period. The author draws on disciplines including archaeology and numismatics to support his study. Rather than rely purely on the written record, this book uses tombs, coins, and a wide array of other artifacts; to provide a historically-grounded examination of apostolic times. The author argues that the Christian community in first-century Rome was far larger and more influential than has previously been thought. Through careful study of the Catacombs, he demonstrates that immense wealth was concentrated in the hands of Christian landowners. He also presents evidence that challenges the idea that Peter was not martyred in Rome as well as offering a detailed analysis of other monuments associated with the apostles. This book is important because it offers new insights into the early history of Christianity, and provides a wealth of material that will be of interest to scholars and general readers alike.
