Beginnings of Christianity Vol 1

First Century Church by 
Paul Wernle

Paul Wernle was a professor of church history and New Testament studies at the University of Basel around the turn of the 20th century. The Beginnings of Christianity, relying upon the Bible and then-current historical and textual scholarship, traces the origin and development of the Christian religion. The first volume documents the rise of Christianity, the early Christian community, and the theology of St. Paul.
