AND ON THIS ROCK I WILL BUILD MY CHURCHVOL1 - P...

This voluminous work on Church History by Philip Schaff (1819-1893) was originally published
between 1858 and 1893 in eight volumes in the USA and covers the period from the beginnings of
Biblical Christianity in A.D. 1 to the History of the Reformation in Germany and Switzerland
(1517-1648). Being still a popular text in North America  this work had been out of print for
over a century and has now been carefully edited and reformatted for republication in three
volumes  each of them containing the text of two volumes of the original edition. Schaff's work
unlike other works in the field  covers a multitude of church history-related aspects - from
church doctrine  policy  events and processes to aspects of social moral and family life  arts
and more. It is a very comprehensive text  extremely well-written and readable  rich in
material and sources used  and attests to the excellence of protestant German theological
scholarship under the influence of emerging Historical-Critical Biblical Exegesis at his time.
This first volume covers the period from the beginnings to the Ante-Nicene Fathers (A.D.
1-311).
