Fr. Mitch Pacwa, S.J., discusses Scripture and the Early Church

In a talk from the 2004 Deep in History conference, Fr. Mitch Pacwa, S.J., a scholar of ancient and Middle Eastern history, culture, and religion, looks at the world in which the Scriptures were written, and why that is important for understanding their meaning and application throughout the lifetime of the Church. The early period of the growth of Christianity (ca. A.D. 50-700) is a rich source for learning how the earliest disciples and apostles of Jesus Christ passed on the “faith delivered once and for all to God’s holy ones” (Jud 3). From Ignatius of Antioch in the early second century to Gregory the Great in the early seventh, the story of the Church’s proclamation in winning over pagan culture to Christ is widely diverse in practice and wonderfully unified in doctrine. The faith of these early Saints inspires and challenges us to live more deeply in love with Christ and in continuity with Christians throughout history.
