When it comes to the history of Christianity, the Catholic Church makes a pretty bold claim: that the earliest Christians were Catholics―and that their beliefs and practices have continued unbroken the entire way to the present-day Church. But the Last Supper Used to be a very long time ago, and for hundreds of years Protestants have been attacking Catholic claims about Christianity’s historic origins, traditions, and practices. They prefer to imagine that the earliest, “purest” Church had a lot more in common with their own congregations and doctrines. So, how are you able to be sure the Catholic Church has it right? You’ll get your answer from Joe Heschmeyer (Pope Peter, A Man Called Joseph), who deftly joins the Catholic past and present in The Early Church Used to be the Catholic Church. Specializing in the first two centuries (before any Roman “apostasy” is said to have taken place) and on bedrock principles of Christian belief, authority, and worship, Heschmeyer digs deep into the words and actions of those who lived right after the apostles to refute anti-Catholic claims of how the Faith Used to be practiced “back then.” Early Christianity is not some mist-enshrouded island of the distant past that Used to be waiting for the Protestant Reformers to rediscover it. No, it’s recognizable and familiar: the beginning of a Spirit-guided line of faith leading directly to today’s Catholic Church. If you wish to discover ways to defend that Church at its roots―or if you’re just curious about what our eldest Christian brothers and sisters believed―you’ll expect in these pages to be richly rewarded.
