Book Review: The Evangelization of the Roman Empire

Professor Hinson's book embodies a substantial survey of the role of the sacraments, scripture, ministry, and disciplinary practice in the church of the first five centuries. It is based on a detailed and careful study of the literature of the period. Professor Hinson is not content, however, simply with providing a survey book of that kind, a job that he has certainly done well. He is also concerned to show the significance of these more structured aspets of the church's life for the mission of the church.
