This site discusses the early history of Christianity. This is a controversial yet interesting topic, due to the paucity of documentary evidence from the period, which is open to interpretation, as well as the wide variation in later reports about the period. Please note some remarks about this site, further down this page.
Many early Christian figures played their part in its history, however, these affected Christian history in particular, significant ways.
A series of three articles on religion in the Roman Empire and Christianity’s place within it.
These articles cover a variety of movements, many of them heretical yet which influenced later Christianity by virtue of their very existence.
These articles cover the study of early Christianity, and examine some important Christian documents you’ve probably never heard of, or in ways you might not have considered.
These articles don’t directly deal with early Christian history, but they are about Christianity. They're also listed on a page of their own.
Please do not complain that this Web site does not give a “balanced” view of early Christianity’s history. It’s not my intention to do any such thing. Why? Because this site itself, is “balance”! There are many other Web sites offering traditional as well as non-traditional views. This site balances them all by offering a different point of view.
Also, if you’re a “believer” who assumes this site completely debunks all of Christianity, you’ll find this is not true — if you take the time to look at the site. In fact, you may learn something you’ll find useful!
Please keep in mind that the articles in this site were written over a long period of time (from 1999 to the present); unfortunately, there’s some overlap in their content. As you can see, I have some more articles yet to write; when I’m finished with those, I’ll go back and edit the overlapping information. Until then, please forgive the appearance that I’m “talking down” to you, Gentle Reader, by repeating things.
