The Early Church
ROFESSOR E. M. BLAIKLOCK’S new series from 1YC, The World of the Early Church, is a logical sequel to his earlier talks on The World to Which Christ Came. Unlike most sequels, they have all the point and interest of the original. Dr. Blaiklock manages to weave the results of modern historical research into a picture which has life and vividness, without being in any way related to CinemaScope Christianity. I was especially struck by his most recent talk on "The Early Church and the Working Classes," in which he discussed the guild formations of Roman times and the particular social atmosphere in which the Church grew, and in a few crisp sentences examined the part of Nero in the burning of Rome, In the past the BBC has given more attention to this kind of broadcast than has the NZBS. But recent programmes, these talks included, seem to indicate a broader policy. They certainly reveal that we have no lack of able and interesting speakers to discuss religious
topics.
