Hans von Campenhausen, Professor of Early Church History at Heidelberg, has devoted a lifetime to finding out what the primitive Church was really like and in particular how it thought about the perennial problems that have faced and still face Christians: the interpretation of Scripture, the meaning of what Christ said, the problem of Christ’s return, the use of images, the degree to which Christians can be rich or obey the dictates of the state, sex and celibacy, forms of worship.
