Book Description

The aim of this book is to furnish Bible students a guide and companion in their investigation of the Apsotolic age. It has been written with a conviction that the simple facts about the Gospel in the first Christian generation are an interesting as a great imaginative poem, as essential to a liberal education as a knowledge of Greek history in the time of Pericles, or of English history in the reign of Henry VIII, and more inspiring, more illuminating as regards the very spirit of Jesus, than the facts of any subsequent period in the long history of the Christian Church.
