520 _a"This volume is the product of Fr. Angelo Di Berardino's 35 years of lectures at the Augustinianum in Rome. These lectures offer an overview of the birth and development of Ancient Christianity's institutions and practices in all their variety and diversity. For every social or religious movement to survive, it needs to create structures and develop standards of life and organization. These allow its continuation and strengthen the effectiveness of its mission. Numerical growth and the geographic expansion of Christianity required creativity on the part of Christian communities. Detached from its Jewish matrix and its original environment and influenced by new living conditions, the church's institutions and practices gradually developed over time, reflecting the various social settings in which they were born. Consequently, the author notes the diversity of customs across regions and time periods. You will learn here about Christian institutions like marriage, the church calendar, the clergy, various religious rites and observances, and other early institutions that reflect the daily life of the average Christian in the ancient world"--
