The Agape Of The Early Christian Chuech, F Breuer
Bachelor of Divinity
The Agape is defined as "the social meal or love-feast of the primitive Christians which usually accompanied the Eucharist." It extended from the days of the Apostles to the ninth century in the Western Church and in the Eastern Church it still exists in some form or other.

The Last Years Of The Life Of St. Paul, Walter Heyne
The Last Years Of The Life Of St. Paul, Walter Heyne
