Introduction to Early Church History

Some time ago, I gave six introductory lectures on the history of the early Christian Church. The topics ranged from the selection of the New Testament canon to the rise of monasticism, from the triumph of the monarchial episcopal ecclesiology to the incorporation of Jews and Gentiles into one religious community.

Please leave any questions on my YouTube channel and I will answer them all.
