N2  - This book originated as lectures at a popular level.  Glimpses are given here into the early Christian views on  such questions as slavery, war, politics, marriage, luxury  and amusements. We read the story of the cruel persecutions  and the moving testimonies of the martyrs. We learn how the  early church worshipped and how she faced heresies and  other dangers such as false religions.--Back cover
