Batson, David
The treasure chest of the early Christians: faith, care and community from the Apostolic Age to Constantine the Great - Grand Rapids Gracewing Company 2001 - 127
In this book David Batson highlights the interaction between Christianity and its social setting in the period from the Apostolic Age to the time of Constantine, and shows how the earliest believers cared for the needs of the destitute and deprived in anxious and dangerous times, eventually providing a model of social care unique in Late Antiquity. The role already developed by the Early Church as carer of the needy has contributed to the modern concept of care in the community.
