Description: "First appearing in 1946, Robert Grant's Second-Century Christianity provides source materials from second-century pagan witnesses, Christian churches, and movements that later became known as heretical - offering an inside look into the growth and spread of Christianity during the second century. Raising to the forefront the paramount issues and concerns during the period, Grant's expanded collection of primary documents brings the reader into the very arenas in which Christianity was being discussed and provides a firsthand encounter with what churches were facing as the movement spread."--Jacket.
