GENERAL COMMENTS
An erudite but approachable history of the first centuries of the Armenian Apostolic Church, placed in the context of the universal Christian church. It gives an overview of the different branches of Christianity, situating the Armenian church within them. It then offers the history of the Christianization of Armenia, its presence at the Council of Nicaea, the invention of the Armenian alphabet, the Armenian Church's response to the Council of Ephesus, and its initial response to the Council of Chalcedon. In addition to the historical information, it also gives an overview of the important theological debates of the time.
