(Leslie Houlden), 'Who Were the Disciples?' (Stephen Need), 'Who Were the First Popes?' (Graham Gould), 'What is the Apocryphal New Testament?' (Stuart Hall), 'What was Gnosticism?' (Stuart Hall), 'What Was the Qumran Sect and Did Jesus Share their Beliefs?' (Stephen Need), 'How Did the Early Christians Worship?' (Graham Gould), 'Who Were the Heretics and What Did they Believe?' (Lionel Wickham) and 'What Did Constantine Do for Christianity?' (Graham Gould).

About the Author
Graham Gould was formerly a lecturer in theology at King's College, London. He is now a freelance lecturer and writer and co-editor of the Journal of Theological Studies. As well as the early church his theological interests include liturgy and the critical appropriation of the Bible in preaching. He lives in Leyton in east London.
Stuart George Hall was born in London in 1928, and educated at University College School, New College, Oxford and Ripon Hall. He has been an Anglican priest since 1955, and has taught and published in universities, chiefly on the early Church. From 1978 to 1990 he was Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Kings College, London, and is now associated with St Andrews University.
Stephen W. Need has taught New Testament Studies and Early Christianity in Chichester, Southampton and Jerusalem. He has traveled widely in the Middle East and is currently Dean of St. George's College, Jerusalem.
Lionel Wickham (born 1932) has divided his working life between parish priesthood, mostly in Yorkshire, and university teaching. His last academic post was as University Lecturer in the Faculty of Divinity at Cambridge where he taught under the heading of the History and Interpretation of Christian doctrine in the Patristic period.
