Early Christian inscriptions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Early Christian inscriptions are the epigraphical remains of early Christianity. They are a valuable source of information in addition to the writings of the Church Fathers regarding the development of Christian thought and life in the first six centuries of the religion's existence.[2] The three main types are sepulchral inscriptions, epigraphic records, and inscriptions concerning private life.
