Summary
Details

Explore the fascinating evolution of early Christianity with Lyford Paterson Edwards's insightful work, ""The Transformation of Early Christianity from an Eschatological to a Socialized Movement."" This meticulously researched dissertation delves into the crucial period of early church history, examining the shift in focus from an initial emphasis on eschatology to the development of a more socially oriented movement.

Edwards's work provides a valuable lens through which to understand the sociological forces that shaped the Christian church in its formative years, approximately 30-600 AD. Drawing upon historical sources and sociological analysis, this book illuminates the transition from a faith primarily focused on the end times to one increasingly engaged with the practical and social needs of its growing community. A cornerstone for understanding Christian sociology, this book remains a vital resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and its profound impact on society. Perfect for those interested in religion, Christian history, and the sociology of religion.
