Outstanding Presentation!

So much of early Christian history must be reconstructed due to the complete absence of any real evidence. Most early Christian histories are really just modern interpretations, which as a result, introduce the bias of their authors. The stellar cast of scholars and historians possess an encyclopedic knowledge of all the available writings. They combine that knowledge with what actual evidence we have and the recent archaeological evidence. The result is the most careful, complete and unbiased history of the early Christians.
