Introducing Early Christianity ::
It's made like books used to be, nice cover, pleasant endpapers, good feel and well bound.
Laurie Guy's new book is a delight to handle, and knowing Laurie will be a clear, concise and illuminating read. It's just out, and he brought his copy into the staff room at lunch time!
Laurie Guy,

Here from Laurie Guy is an introduction to Christianity of the first four centuries that is readable but not lightweight, interesting but not superficial, informative but not technical.
I'm sure they are right!
