This scholarly work by W.H.C. Frend, a renowned British historian and expert on early Christianity, offers an in-depth exploration of the archaeological evidence that sheds light on the origins and development of the Christian faith. Published in the late 20th century, this volume draws upon the latest archaeological discoveries and research of its time to provide a comprehensive account of the material culture and physical remains that have survived from the formative centuries of Christianity. Frend’s meticulous analysis of excavated sites, artifacts, and architectural remains across the Mediterranean world and beyond allows readers to gain a tangible understanding of the lived experiences and practices of early Christian communities. This copy, though bearing the markings of its former library ownership, remains a valuable resource for scholars, students, and enthusiasts interested in the intersection of archaeology, religious history, and the enduring impact of early Christianity on the cultural landscape.
