Documents of the Christian ChurchHenry Bettenson "First published in 1943, this book won a world-wide reputation, so that 'Bettenson, Documents' is new referred to as a sourcebook in many important works. It is also fascinating reading, containing 'the hard facts of many disputed questions, the ammunition for controversy, the corrective to loose thinking and idle speech'. In 1963 it went into a second edition, so that it now covers an additional twenty years of Christian history, from the earliest document after the New Testament, down to the eve of the second Vatican Council. It spans the periods of the Fathers and the Middle Ages, Roman Catholic and Protestant churches, the Reformation, the Churches in Great Britain, and the beginning of the Ecumenical Movement, giving an indispensable background to history and current events." - Publisher |
