Köp båda 2 för 1548 krR. A. Markus, The Tablet Review from previous edition The first 600 years: that is nearly one third of the Church's entire history. No one but Henry Chadwick ... could have given us so full and so authoritative an account of these decisive centuries. His new book crowns a body of illuminating work on several of the outstanding figures as well as on many of the thorniest problems of the early Church's history.
R. A. Markus, The Tablet The book is a tour de fource to which we will keep turning as an essential reference work.
English Historical Review This is a tour de force by a great scholar ... a magisterial account of the doctrinal and institutional history of the early Church, particularly in the east Roman provinces. The easy style, not without a sprinkling of colloquialisms, conceals the author's great learning and enthusiasm for his subject ... Henry Chadwick's book will remain a standard work on the history of early Christianity for the forseeable future.
Whoever looks for a reliable and highly readable companion to the formative centuries of Christianity and, in many respects, of European culture as well could hardly make a better choice ... The exposition is rich in detail, and makes an enjoyable read that will appeal to an academic and to a general readership alike.
Kate Cooper, Times Literary Supplement Marked by a monumentality both of scope and detail ... the last great narrative history of the twentieth century in its field ... Henry Chadwick ranks as one of the great figures of the twentieth century in his field, and there is every reason to believe that a future generation of scholars will be keen to have access to his guidance on any one of a thousand points of detail.
