Law in the Early Christian Church
Abstrak
The document discusses the development of legal systems within the early Christian Church, starting from its initial informal guidelines to more structured canonical laws influenced by Roman civil law. It highlights the evolution of church law from the Didache in the first century to more complex legal texts in subsequent centuries, focusing on regulations for church governance, liturgical practices, and moral conduct. The transition from persecution to the Church's integration into the Roman government under Constantine significantly transformed its legal framework, emphasizing discipline within the community and the Church's growing hierarchical structure.
