The Spreading Flame: The Rise and Progress of Christianity from Its First Beginning to A.D. 800 - eBook

The story of the early Christian church--from its infancy to the conversion of the English in about a.d. 800 -- pictures a church that is an unquenchable spiritual force organized for tribulation. Its spiritual resources are never stronger than in times of seeming disaster. Bruce gives the reader a feel for the evangelistic fervor of the Apostles and the early Christians in a narrative filled with solid, well-reasoned, richly researched facts. The way in which Bruce conveys the sweeping narrative of the New Testament is simply enthralling. I found myself not being able to put the book down, said blogger and campus minister Chris Hall.
