Belfast church historian William Dool Killen traces Christianity from the life of Christ and the mission of the Twelve through the spread of the faith across the Roman world. He examines its doctrine, its forms of worship and above all its government, arguing from the sources about how the earliest congregations were actually led and how bishops rose to power.
A substantial study written from a Presbyterian standpoint, useful to readers of early church history and its controversies. Download the free EPUB.
