The Church In Roman Gaul (1882)

By Richard Travers Smith

Book Overview

""The Church in Roman Gaul"" is a historical account of the early Christian Church in Gaul, written by Richard Travers Smith and published in 1882. The book covers the period from the first introduction of Christianity to the region in the 1st century AD up until the 6th century, when the Frankish Kingdom began to dominate the area. Smith provides a detailed analysis of the various Christian communities that emerged in Gaul, including their beliefs, practices, and organization. He also examines the role of the Church in the political and social life of the region, as well as its relationship with the Roman Empire and the emerging barbarian kingdoms. The book draws on a wide range of primary sources, including letters, sermons, and other writings from early Christian leaders, as well as archaeological evidence from Gaul. Smith's writing is scholarly and thorough, but also accessible to a general audience interested in the history of Christianity in Europe. Overall, ""The Church in Roman Gaul"" is an important work of scholarship that sheds light on a little-known period of Christian history, and provides valuable insights into the development of the Church in Western Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
