Description: Many recognize Everett Ferguson as the definitive voice on early Christianity, patristic writing and ecclesiology. The Early Church at Work and Worship is a challenging collection, broad in scope and formidable in depth. This is the first volume of Ferguson's collected essays, and includes some of his most memorable work, especially on "laying on of hands". Practices of Ordination and attitudes to religious schism in antiquity are analyzed in this collection, which not only includes articles and publications from various sources, but also previously unpublished material.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
