Summary

Every generation has an uncanny tendency to view themselves as more enlightened than those that have gone before. The Church certainly has made mistakes all through history - and yet, no insights which we possess would be possible without the efforts, and even some of the mistakes, of our ancestors. The first volume of 2,000 Years of Christ's Power covers the period from the 1st Century AD to the start of the Middle Ages. From the works of Saint Augustine of Hippo to the first apologetic ever penned, this time in history established the foundations of what we take for granted today.

Nick Needham's first volume of his (currently) 5 volume set is brilliant - not too deep, but thorough enough to explain many of the issues the church faced, their various councils and creeds, the heretics, etc... Well read and definitely worth listening to more than once.

Brilliant survey of very early church history

Informative but not boring. Looking forward to the next volume. Helps to make sense of many aspects of Christianity and the church.

Very informative

A well written narrative of the early Church history, covering all the controversies and heresies, the well known Church figures and many lessor one. The reader was clear in diction, and easy to follow, albeit he pronounces some of the names a little different from what I have previously heard . However, who is to say how they were originally pronounced. This is the kind of audiobook that I would need to listen to again to refresh my memory as to the details of the various events.

Very interesting
