Earliest Church

New Academia Publishing LLC
This book brings to life the lived experience of the disciples after Christ’s death, the possibilities they faced and the choices they made. Nothing was inevitable: the earliest Church could have gone in this direction or in that. “In The Earliest Church, the late Rev. William P. Sampson, SJ, takes us on a journey of imagination, spirit, and theological contemplation. By helping us to explore the earliest days of the Church, he guides us into a deeper understanding of our Church in the present day. Just as Fr. Sampson guided so many on spiritual retreats, this book continues his legacy of scholarship, reflection, and helping others to most authentically live their faith.
