This week I thought I’d review another of the books I devoured during my sabbatical. It’s called ‘The Patient Ferment of the Early Church’ and is written by the late Alan Kreider. As he attempts to unpack what features of the Jesus movement of the first 3 centuries led to its powerful ferment and improbable growth, he encourages us to discover the “lost bequest” of the ancient church and reclaim some powerful resources for our own patient witness, worship and discipleship in today’s increasingly pluralistic and post-Christendom world.
