After the apostles died, did the faith survive?

If Christianity changed after the apostles died, when did it happen? Polycarp is one of the hardest people to ignore if you're asking that question honestly.

He was the bishop of Smyrna, close to the apostolic generation, and his surviving words sound a lot like the faith Christians already know. This episode follows the line from John to Polycarp to Irenaeus, and asks whether the gap after the New Testament is emptier than people think.
