This book is a study of seven very different churches in the New Testament period after the death of the apostles. These churches had quite diverse emphases in their community life, as detectable from the biblical writtings addressed to them. Three of the churches are in the heritage of Paul, one in the heritage of Peter, two in the heritage of John and the last is the church addressed by the First Gospel (Matthew)
