The Early Years of Christianity by Edmond De Pressense and published by Classics.
This Volume, is divided into three sections, yet is forms one whole, for its one theme is the great conflict of Primitive Christianity with Paganism.
The first section gives the narrative of the missions and persecutions of the Church; the second treats of its most illustrious representatives, and brings out their distinctive characteristics; it is entitled “The Fathers of the Church of the Second and Third Centuries.” The third section describes the great controversial conflict of Christianity, and contains a complete outline of the Apology of the Early Church.
