Publisher's Synopsis
The first century church knew nothing of our modern denominational divisions. It was not denominated by theologies or celebrities, but by geographies. Geographical boundaries and civil jurisdictions alone determined the church's boundaries. They were not in competition with one another. When the apostle addressed a church he would speak, for example, to the whole church in Corinth. Evidently, the church, even in these large cosmopolitan cities, was functioning as one unified body.
