3 BC – 476 AD
The first Christians stood firm.
From the Apostle Peter at Pentecost in Jerusalem to St.
Patrick on the shores of Ireland in the year 432; the ancient Church has much to teach the Church of today. The story of the ancient Church of one of a people finding their way. But they weren’t stepping out into the dark: God had shined the light of Christ, and so they followed his way.
The Church produced many great writers, thinkers, bishops,
and pastors to offer deep and practical guidance. Justin Martyr, Tertullian,
Origen, Athanasius, Ambrose, John Chrysostom, Jerome, and Augustine
But persecution was fierce: many Christians were martyred. Bishops such as Ignatius, Polycarp, and Cyprian were among them. Their commitment to the cause of Christ is to be commended.
Today, we have the benefit of much more understanding, but we stand on the shoulders of those who braved persecution, death, debate, and mystery on behalf of generations to come.
The Risen Hope series is a narrative–driven journey through the history of the Church. Introducing key people and events from the last two thousand years, readers will be captivated by the fascinating stories and engaging style. Continuing the legacy of its predecessor, the History Lives
series, the Risen Hope series is a breath of fresh air on the church history scene. Book 1 of 5.
