Ruoyi Ye ruoyiyee25c — So so book. Nothing spectacular, but enjoyable.

Anubhav Singh anubhavwor85d6 — This is a short book and an easy read. It is especially enjoyable if you haven't read a good bash of Constatinianism/Christendom in a while. Kreider's central argument is that in the early Church significant attention was given to proper catechetical instruction and the significant change required for converts to be considered converts. As time progresses, especially after the time of Constantine, conversion becomes less demanding, and easier. Thus, Kreider contends within the Post-Christendom world, the time is ripe for a recovery of early church practices surrounding conversion (i.e. catechesis, some liturgical practices, etc.). I liked this book a lot. It was refreshing to read an early church historian with Anabaptist sensibilities because there is a certain amount of critical appropriation of the tradition (rather than blindly accepting the whole arc of doctrinal development). I also appreciated how much Kreider quotes source materials to build his case. I came away from this book interested in reading several patristic sources.
