Summary
The modern church is a model of both divinity and spirituality. Although many laymen assume that the church existed in this state from the beginning, the reality is that the early church consisted of only a few individuals interested in spreading the Word of God to their neighbors. There were no buildings in which to worship. There were no congregations of hundreds praying together in unison. Rather the early church consisted of nothing more than the apostles and their eagerness to teach others what Jesus had taught them.With the realization that spreading the Word of God represented such a daunting challenge for the apostles, one cannot help but wonder how these men were able to accomplish such an overwhelming feat, brining Christianity to the masses. Examining the historical accounts of the early church and the preaching of the apostles, it is evident that the Resurrection is one of the central tents of the early church. Using this as a basis for investigation, this research seeks to understand the importance of the Resurrection in the preaching of the early church. Through a careful consideration of both historical accounts of the early church and a review of the importance of the Resurrection in the Bible, it will be possible to demonstrate that the Resurrection of Christ is the defining event in Christianity, setting this religion apart from all others.
