| Résumé : | In the second century, a pivotal yet enigmatic period for Christianity, key developments shaped the fledgling churches, including their scriptural canon, liturgical practices, church structure, and doctrinal norms. Wagner skillfully revives this era by examining five critical challenges—Creation, human nature, the identities of Jesus, the roles of the church, and Christians' place in society. He highlights how these issues were influenced by the surrounding Jewish and Greco-Roman contexts, illustrating the responses of five significant figures: Ignatius, Justin, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, and Irenaeus. Through this analysis, Wagner effectively integrates events, ideas, personalities, and movements into a cohesive narrative. |
