The
Timeline
of Church History was
begun, as
best I can recall,
in 1996. At that time, my interest was mainly to prepare a
chronology
of the events surrounding the seven Ecumenical Councils. The
kernel
of the timeline was generated using material in:
- Chadwick, Henry. The Early Church. New
York:
Dorset
Press, 1967; and
- Kelly, J.N.D. Early Christian Doctrines.
San
Francisco:
Harper & Row, 1978.
This
initial skeleton was
fleshed out with events gleaned from:
- Roberts, Alexander and James Donaldson. Ante-Nicene
Fathers.
Peabody, Massachusetts: Hendrickson, 1995; and
- Schaff, Philip. Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers.
Peabody,
Massachusetts: Hendrickson, 1995.
For
the extensive treatment
of the fourth century, particularly the
Arian
heresy, the fourth volume of the second series of the Nicene and
Post-Nicene
Fathers
set was invaluable,
especially the prologomena by Archibald
Roberts and Athanasius’ own record of the events of the councils.
Material related to the decrees and canons of the seven Ecumenical
Councils
themselves has been quoted from the forteenth volume of the second
series.
Since
that beginning, entries
have been gleaned from multiple
sources.
What follows is a partial list, limited by my memory. I
intend
to gather the missing sources into this list over time and add new ones
as the work expands.
