The Church in the pagan world (ca. 30-ca. 300) -- Part 2. The Christian kingdoms prior to Islam (ca. 300-ca. 600) -- Part 3. Islam and the Church (ca. 600-ca. 800).  a"The Christian church of the early centuries spread throughout much of Asia, Africa and Europe, spoke many languages, was situated within diverse cultural settings, and had varied worship practices; yet it maintained a vital unity on core teachings at the heart of the Christian faith. Author Donald Fairbairn helps readers understand both the variety and unity of the Church in this pivotal era by highlighting Christian communities outside the Roman Empire, as far afield as Persia and India, alongside those within it [and] identifying key events by their global, not merely Western, significance and taking into account early Christian interactions with other religions, particuarly Islam."--Back cover 7a30-7992fast 0aChurch historyyPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600. 0aChurch historyy7th century. 0aChurch historyy8th century. 6aÉglisexHistoireyca 30-600 (Église primitive) 6aÉglisexHistoirey7e siècle. 6aÉglisexHistoirey8e siècle. 7aChurch history.2fast 7aChurch historyxPrimitive and early church.2fast08iEbook version :z9780310097860
