Summary "The Transformation of Early Christianity from an Eschatological to a Socialized Movement" by Lyford Paterson Edwards is a dissertation written in the early 20th century. This scholarly work explores the evolution of early Christianity, investigating the transition from a focus on future eschatology to a more socially integrated and communal practice. Edwards examines the complex interplay of political, economic, and theological factors that influenced this transformation. The opening of the dissertation establishes a foundation for understanding the political and religious landscape during the early Christian period. It highlights the existing political theories among Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans, and asserts that early Christianity did not introduce new political concepts but rather adapted and synthesized prevailing ideas. The text discusses the initial political attitudes of early Christians, particularly their view on obedience to authorities, which connected to their apocalyptic beliefs and notions of an imminent end times. This sets the stage for the later chapters, which promise a deeper analysis of how these early beliefs shaped the Church's interaction with society, property concepts, and the overall shift towards socialized practices within Christianity.
