How did the early Christian Church progress from the controversies, persecutions, and key leaders of the first centuries? They had no precedent to go off of, no manual on how to start a religion. An examination shows a complex evolution of the Church as early Christians attempted to make sense of their faith after the death and resurrection of Jesus. Dr. Keith Pacholl, professor of history at the University of West Georgia, presents on the formation of the early Church! Presented to the 20/30Somethings at their Discipleship Night, March 11, 2025.
