The panion to
Early Christian Thought
The shape and course which Christian thought has taken over its history is
largely due to the contributions of individuals munities in the second and
third centuries. Bringing together a remarkable team of distinguished scholars, The
panion to Early Christian Thought is the panion for those
seeking to understand the way in which early Christian thought developed within its
broader cultural milieu and municated through its literature, especially as it
was directed toward theological concerns.
Divided into three parts, panion:
• asks how Christianity’s development was impacted by its interaction with cultural,
philosophical, and religious elements within the broader context of the second and
third centuries;
• examines the way in which early Christian thought was manifest in key individuals
and literature in these centuries;
• analyses early Christian thought as it was directed toward theological concerns
such as God, Christ, redemption, scripture, and munity and its worship.
