Dr. Kelly organizes an ocean of material by outlining the development of each doctrine in its historical context. He lucidly summarizes the genesis of Chrisitian thought from the close of the apostolic age to the Council of Chalcedon in the fifth century--a time teeming with fresh and competing ideas. The doctrines of the Trinity, the authority of the Bible and tradition, the nature of Christ, salvation, original sin and grace, and the sacraments are all extensively treated in these pages. This revised edition of Early Christian Doctrines includes: Sweepingly updated early chapters Revised and updated bibliographies A completely new chapter on Mary and the saints Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - The Must Read Standard on the Early Church JND Kelly does a splendid job of detailing the doctrinal development of the early church of the first five centuries. Particular attention is given to Scripture, tradition, the trinity, the two natures in Christ, the rise of the episcopacy, the sacraments and soteriology. Kelly is an Anglican, but does a wonderful job of describing early Christian thought in a way that is free of partisan bias. Kelly is also an excellent writer.

CONTENT: This book has an easy to follow content and table of contents, is very easy to read, and the chapters are all in chronologically increasing order. This revised edition actually contains a NEW chapter - "Mary and the Saints" - which was actually the first chapter that I read. ...

One can consider this obsessive and even perverse, yet it stands in stark contrast to an approach to Christian theology that is perhaps best described as careless. A read through Kelly's more than five hundred pages of classic exposition of ... Read More Rating: - Great Book, Terrible Edition Kelly's treatment of the first few centuries is an outstanding work and a rightfully a standard in the field but THIS PRINTING IS TRASHY (hence 4 stars rather than 5). The paper is of ultra low grade quality and the binding is pretty crummy also. You are much better off buying the more recent printing by Prince Press. Rating: - It is a classic I purchased this book because I was told by the most reliable scholars that is this is the classic must read!
