In line with the widely accepted notion that Christianity changed radically after 313 CE, when it became the official imperial religion, retired New Testament scholar Snyder describes Christian archaeological data from before then, and suggests hellenistic parallels, incorporating the many new findings since the 1985 original edition. He also reviews the history and methodology of early Christian archaeology as a discipline. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Early Christianity emerged from obscurity to dominate the Roman world: that story, told and retold, continues to fascinate historians and believers. From literary remains scholars have fashioned a reasonably coherent portrait of Christian leaders and their teachings, their controversies, and their struggles with the imperial power. But the religion of ordinary Christians is not so well or easily known; they have left us no literary record of their faith and their hope, their marrying and their dying, their worship and their common life. Scholars relying on literary evidence have little to say of daily life in the Christian church before the "peace" of Constantine halted the persecution of Christianity in the empire. "It is only in nonliterary data," Snyder writes, "that one can catch a glimpse of what actually happened." Before the publication of ANTE PACEM there was no introduction or sourcebook for early Christian archaeology available in English. With this book Snyder has performed an incalculable service for students of early Christianity and the world of late antiquity. He analyzes in one lavishly illustrated volume every piece of evidence that can, with some degree of assurance, be dated before the triumph of the emperor Constantine at the Milvian Bridge in 312CE thrust the nascent Christian culture into a universal role as the formal religious expression of the Roman Empire.Previous assessments have interpreted early Christian artifacts using the literature of the "church fathers" as a template. The method of the so-called "Roman school" presupposed a continuity of Christianity from its beginning through the later church, so its proponents attempted to harmonize the nonliterary evidence with later tradition. Snyder posits that this early Christian Church gave to the Mediterranean world a religious alternative of considerable depth that was expressed in activities and symbols readily understood by that culture.

Much new information on early Christian archaeology has emerged during the last 100 years, prompting a sweeping reinterpretation of past evidence. However, before the publication of Ante Pacem: Archaeological Evidence of Church life before Constantine, there was no introduction or source book for early Christian archaeology available in English. With this book, Graydon Snyder has performed an incalculable service for all who are interested in the life and worship practices of the earliest Christian church. The church after Constantine was filled with ritual and expressed many of the traditions and practices of the pagan religions it supplanted. But what was church life like from A.D. 100 to A.D. 300? It is usually viewed as similar to church life as it was known after Constantine. But is this a correct view? Ante Pacem challenges a concept of second-and third-century church life that has prevailed for more than 400 years. This book has all the ingredients to foster a totally new understanding of the early Christians. If Snyder is correct-and his marshaling of the evidence is compelling-then the whole idea of a ritualistic church will have to undergo serious reconsideration. Lucid, scholarly, and thorough, Ante Pacem may just prove to one of the most influential books of our time. It is a work that must either be accepted, with all its implications, or must be answered with scholarship as thorough as Dr. Snyder's.
