Glenn Kimball, your host, has put together a combination of hundreds of hard to find books, along with hundreds of research links to allow you to explore the ancient world from your home.
The Bible is a valuable collection of sacred ancient texts, written and
assembled over several hundreds of years by numerous authors. These texts were
written to particular people living at a definite time and place who shared
common experiences and knowledge.
By studying similar literature that precedes and follows the biblical writings
chronologically, students of the Bible are better prepared to discover the
intended meaning.

This web site provides a full English translation of the Italian manuscript of the medieval Gospel of Barnabas, one of the strangest and most mysterious works in the whole of Christian literature. There is also supplementary material that may be of use to students. This site is dedicated to the full and proper study of the Gospel of Barnabas. It has been made in the conviction that the Gospel of Barnabas has too often been dismissed by scholars to be of "no value", and in the further conviction that its secrets and mysteries are, contrary to the prevailing view, of intrinsic interest to all serious students of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Most studies of the work have sprung from a context of religious polemic. It is hoped that this site will assist in promoting a more objective study in future
The main topics, common to two or more of the texts, are:
i. The descent into Hell: the number of souls saved and lost.
ii. The Virgin's account of the Annunciation.
iii. The apostles see the bottomless pit.
iv. The devil is summoned and gives an account of his doings.
v. Questions about the deadly sins. Commission of the apostles to preach. Departure of Christ. (This reads like a late addition.)

Dogmatic Wrangling or Theological Odyssey The Early Church's Search for the Biblical Jesus
The early church’s debates about Christ have been stereotyped by some as tendentious, mean-spirited, and irrelevant. Did Jesus become the Son of God at his baptism, or was he pre-existent Deity incarnate? Did he have a human body and a Divine spirit, or was he one person with two natures -- a human nature and a Divine nature? Are these deeply profound questions of lasting relevance, or merely the dusty quibbling of by-gone centuries?

Fathers of the early church speak
The Fathers of the Church spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, defended the Church in apologetic writing and fought the many heresies of the first six centuries of Christianity. These men, also called Apostolic Fathers, gave special witness to the faith, some dying the death of a martyr. Like Jesus who referred to Abraham as a spiritual father (Luke 16: 24) and St. Paul, who referred to himself in the same terms (1 Cor 4: 15), the Fathers were zealous for the word of God. Their writings are a testimony to the faith of the early Church, yet many Christians are unfamiliar with the work of Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch, Polycarp of Smyrna, Justin the Martyr, Irenaeus, Tertullian, Origen, Cyprian of Cathage, Athanasius, Ephraim, Cyril of Jerusalem, Hilary of Poitiers or Gregory the Great to name of few of the early Fathers. Periodically we will provide biographical information and examples of the writing of these great men of faith.
The Early Church Defended Creation Science
As the early church grew in the Graeco-Roman world, the apostles and fathers preached to men who believed in evolution. In Athens, Paul encountered Epicurean and Stoic philosophers.1 These and other early philosophers were also scientists. They observed the world and attempted to explain its nature and origin. They had many views on origins, all evolutionary.

Theology Adrift The Early Church Fathers and Their Views of Eschatology
In 1962, philosopher-scientist Thomas Kuhn coined the term "paradigm shift" to signal a massive change in the way a community thinks about a particular topic.1 Examples of paradigm shifts include Copernicus's discovery that the earth revolves around the sun, Einstein's theory of relativity, and Darwin's theory of evolution. Each changed the world of thought (some for better, some for worse) in a fundamental way.
From a political perspective, Constantine's Edict of Milan, issued in AD 313, constituted the formal beginning of a major paradigm shift that signaled the end of the ancient world and the beginning of the medieval period. That edict legitimated Christianity and impressed upon it the Empire's stamp of approval.
WATER BAPTISM AND SPIRIT BAPTISM IN THE CHURCH FATHERS
Following the lead of Pentecostalism, the charismatic movement has adopted the expression “Baptism in the Holy Spirit” as a term describing the renewing experience of the breakthrough of the Holy Spirit in the life of a Christian. This most common expression, “Baptism in the Spirit”, is a source of many misunderstandings. Classical Pentecostalism used it in a sense which is highly uncommon until the eighteenth century. It means that a second blessing must follow after conversion or rebirth, which is marked by water baptism. This second blessing is a baptism in or by the Spirit which in its turn evokes the charisms.
These points of the true church are extracted from my book One Lord, One Faith: Writings of the Early Christian Fathers as Evidences of the Restoration (Horizon Publishers, 1996). I have taken edited, condensed portions from three sections of each chapter in the book, namely, from the "Point," "Selected Bible Passages," and "Suggested Reading" sections
Contemporary Christians neglect the teachings of the Church Fathers on key moral and theological issues to their own peril. The earliest specific written references to abortion in Christian literature are those in the Didache and the Epistle of Barnabas. The Didache combines a code of Christian morality with a manual of church life and order, while the Epistle of Barnabas is a more theological tract on Christian life and thought. While both of these probably date from the early second century, they most likely drew on Christian sources which had their origins in the late first century.
The Coming Home Journal - Justification & Salvation
The disputes between Catholicism and Protestantism, as well as amidst the various Protestant traditions themselves, should, if nothing else, cause one to wonder what the earliest Christian communities thought on any subject being contested. What did those who learned their faith directly from the preaching of the Apostles themselves say regarding man's salvation? For this, of course, we turn to the writings of these Early Church Fathers.

How do you know that the Bible is true
There are many evidences that confirm that the Bible is reliable. First, history and archeology confirm the biblical record. Over 25,000 sites have now been discovered that pertain to the Bible. As Nelson Glueck, renowned Jewish archaeologist said, "It may be stated categorically that no archeological discovery has ever controverted a biblical reference." Even though archeology does not prove spiritual truth, archeological confirmation is an amazing testimony to the accuracy of the Bible.
Mark Chapter 16 Canonical Proof
Some "scholars" challenge the authenticity of Mark 16:9-20. They claim that these passages were not a part of the original manuscripts and therefore are not for us today.
Following the death of Christ, many of his followers believed
that he would return quickly. Because they held this belief, they were very slow
to create any written records of his life. But the Second Coming did not come as
expected. After about thirty years Christians saw the need to write down an
account of Jesus’ life. They got most of their information from eyewitnesses and
the oral traditions that had been passed down to them. They called these books
gospels which literally means "Good News". Four different gospels were written
and canonized by the church. These four are Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
Several other accounts of Jesus' life have not been recognized as authentic by
the Church and are considered non-canonical.
Jesus of Nazareth in Early Christian Gospels - A Web Site by Andrew Bernhard
Four ancient texts have traditionally been employed in recounting the sayings and deeds of Jesus of Nazareth. The Gospels according to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John have together enjoyed the privileged status of sacred scripture since the late second century when they began to receive the consensus approval of the early catholic church. The four gospels now found in the New Testament, however, were not the only sources of information about Jesus available in early Christian communities. Initially word about Jesus was passed on orally, but before long many written accounts of the life of Jesus were also in circulation. These early Christian gospels enjoyed widespread influence for centuries before interest in them waned and they were lost and forgotten.
Gospel of Thomas Additional Information
The Gospel of Thomas is a sayings gospel. It includes very little narrative about Jesus' activities, but instead focuses on his words, introducing his sayings with simple phrases such as "Jesus said." Modern scholars have divided the text into a prologue and 114 sayings. Some of the sayings will have a familiar ring to readers of the New Testament, but others have no parallels in the traditional Christian Bible.
Gospel of Peter Additional Information
When the Gospel of Peter was first published, many scholars quickly regarded it as a rearrangement and loose paraphrase of the canonical gospels. They believed that the gospel was written in the late second century. They asserted that the gospel was obviously dependent on the canonical texts for its material. Other scholars, however, have argued that the Gospel of Peter was written independently of the canonical gospels by Jewish Christians in the first quarter of the second century.

The Bible Why Some Ancient Texts Were Excluded
Not all ancient Judeo-Christian texts made it into the
Christian Bible. These ancient texts are called "outside books," "extrabiblical
books," or "noncanonical books."
Christian canons emerged through a complex process in which some books were
"chosen" and others were left out. A tradition of use, authority within the
communities, antiquity or apostolicity, and orthodoxy were factors in deciding
which books were "in" and which were "out."
The Book of Enoch (also known as 1 Enoch) was once cherished by Jews and Christians alike, this book later fell into disfavor with powerful theologians–precisely because of its controversial statements on the nature and deeds of the fallen angels. The Enochian writings, in addition to many other writings that were excluded (or lost) from the Bible (i.e., the Book of Tobit, Esdras, etc.) were widely recognized by many of the early church fathers as "apocryphal" writings.
The Development of the Canon of the New Testament
This survey covers a small part of the huge body of New Testament studies --- how the Church selected certain writings as authoritative and separated them from a larger body of early Christian literature. In view of the central importance that the New Testament has within Christianity, it is amazing that there is an absence of detailed accounts of such a significant process. My goal is to collect and organize the information that is available, and make it easily accessible in the form of hypertext. I especially hope this file will be useful to persons who cherish the New Testament, but are unfamiliar with the history of its development.

The Book of Enoch and The Secrets of Enoch
Can any who spend several years in those seats of learning, be excused if they do not add to that reading of the Fathers? the most authentic commentators on Scripture, as being both nearest the fountain, eminently endued with that Spirit by whom all Scripture was given. It will be easily perceived, I speak chiefly of those who wrote before the council of Nicea. But who could not likewise desire to have some acquaintance with those that followed them? with St. Chrysostom, Basil, Augustine, and above all, the man of a broken heart, Ephraim Syrus? -- John Wesley
Statements of Early Church Fathers on The Visit of Christ to The Spirit
It has become quite popular on college campuses for atheistic professors to attack Christianity by stating that Gnosticism was the "original" Christianity. Thus the Christian student today has to have a basic understanding of Gnosticism in order to defend the faith (Jude 3).

The Works of the Early Church Fathers--Tertullian
Tertullian was born during the latter half of the second century and raised in the cultured pagan environment of Carthage where he was well trained in rhetoric and possibly in law. He converted to Christianity as an adult and devoted himself thence to apologetic, polemical and moral writings, all of which display his characteristic brilliance and intolerance.

Paradosis or handing on or down of Divine Revelation is affirmed in Sacred Scripture. Hence, it must be found in some contiguous historical form from age to age. Catholic Christians believe that the promise of the Spirit of Truth to guide believers in truth is found in the constant faith of the Church as preserved in the writings of the Post-Apostolic Fathers.

In 1936, two French archaeologists, Lebeuf and Griaule, led an expedition to Chad in North Central Africa. As they crossed the plains they saw some areas covered with small mounds. They also found large numbers of these mounds around Fort Lamy and Goulfeil. Deciding to investigate, they dug up several egg-shaped funeral jars that contained the remains of a gigantic race, along with pieces of their jewelry and their works of art.1 These giants, according to the natives, were called the Saos.
The Purpose of Satan in Producing Giants
It was the purpose of Satan and his fallen angels to corrupt
the human race and thereby do away with pure Adamite stock through whom the seed
of the woman should come. This would avert their own doom and make it possible
for Satan and his kingdom to keep control of the planet earth indefinitely. It
was said to Adam and Eve that the seed of the woman should defeat Satan and
restore man's dominion.
These dark corners of The Hall of Church history can be interesting and informative. But we encourage guests to spend most of their time in the central hall, which takes you from the Church Fathers, through the Medieval Churchmen, down a narrow, treasure-filled hallway devoted to the Puritan and Reformed writers, to the more recent stalwarts of the faith. We have named this corridor "Berean Hall," in honor of those noble recipients of the apostolic message, who "received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so" (Acts 17:11).

Holiness in the Early Church (Holiness Heritage Series)
Have you seen the bumper sticker, "Christians are not different; they’re just forgiven?" Is it true? I would like to examine how the early church might have answered the question. When I say "the early church" I mean the church from around the second to the fifth century. Sometimes we use the term "the early church" as if all Christians in the second to the fifth centuries were completely agreed on every Christian doctrine. That is not so. There were disagreements; there were a lot of debates. One of the biggest disagreements was on this very question: Are Christians merely forgiven, or are they really different?

Does the clergy role that so prevails throughout the Western Church today find its basis in the Bible? Sadly, history tells us that the functioning of clergy was adapted from the pagan practices of the Greeks and Romans who depended on priests to stand between them and their gods. The role of clergy so recognized throughout much of the Church today got its philosophical underpinnings from the dualistic teachings of Plato in the fifth century BC. Many of today’s followers of Jesus, however, are attempting to return to the biblical role of pastoring as it was understood by our first-century forefathers. The difficulty is that most Christians today are so accustomed to the clergy/laity separation in their congregations that they are amazed or even angered when that distinction is questioned.
Worship is the central focus of a vital Christian faith, and the most distinctive activity of the church of Jesus Christ. The biblical words translated "worship" (Hebrew shachah, Greek proskuneo) mean, literally, to bow down or bend the knee. Such was the ancient gesture of honor to a sovereign and superior authority. To worship is to offer the oath of covenant loyalty to the Great King, and to affirm our faithfulness as his servants. For this reason, the worship of God through Jesus Christ lies at the heart of all Christian expression. In renewing our worship today, it is important to understand what worship looked like in the earliest days of the church.

The religious wars began with overt hostilities in 1562 and lasted until the Edict of Nantes in 1598.

Although religion was certainly the basis for the conflict, it was much more than a confessional dispute.
Nearly 700 years ago, probably in 1324, in Yorkshire, England, John Wycliffe was born. This was a period when great spiritual darkness lay across most of Europe. However, this brilliant man was used by God to influence greatly the spiritual life of England, and indeed much of Europe. Wycliffe has been called The Morning Star of the Reformation.

The term 'revival' has often been misused, and misunderstood especially in terms of Church History. In order for a person to re-vived, they must have been awake in the first place, and are now asleep or unaware of what is going on around them. One can clearly see that this refers to the Church. The results of this 'revival' in peoples lives, is that many sinners come to repentance, but it definitely is an 'awakening' of the Church.
