The Christian Tradition 1: The Emergence of the Catholic Tradition 100-600 by Jaroslav Pelikan

readingthroughthelists's review

3.0

A dry read, but extremely thorough and fair in its assessment of the major doctrinal movements from 100-600. Historical context would have been helpful for creating a full picture of the time; without it, Christian doctrine feels like it developed in a vacuum and it's hard to get a fuller picture of the origins of the Christian canon.
