A Glimpse At Early Christian Church Life
One of the most popular themes in science fiction today is time travel. Probably all of us have at one time or another yearned to be able to travel back in time to visit a century long removed from our own. But, as of yet, no one has invented a time machine. So the closest thing we have to time travel is reading the works of persons who lived in a different era from our own.
This book equips you to take a glimpse at church life around A.D. 200. It is not some fanciful, largely fictitious account of how the early Christians lived and worshipped in the early centuries. Instead, it is a collection of five of Tertullian's sermons and tracts that honestly reveal many of the customs, beliefs, worship practices, controversies, and lifestyles of the early Christians. Tertullian, a church elder who lived in Carthage, North Africa, composed these works between A.D. 195 and 210.
As you will see from reading these writings, when Christianity was young, church life extended far beyond the walls of the meeting house. It touched personal prayer, entertainment, work, dress, and every other aspect of a Christian's life. Through his writings, Tertullian gives us insight into the complete sphere of Christian life in the early centuries of Christianity.
However, we are not publishing these works simply to satisfy the reader's intellectual curiosity or to help a person gain knowledge about church history. Rather, we hope these works will challenge Christians everywhere to return to the holiness and uncompromising obedience of the early Christians.
