<br/><br/> "This is a book re-examining the evidence of early Christian churches, specifically the archaeological evidence for altars in these places of worship. It features numerous photographs and other images to demonstrate this evidence to the reader. The author concludes that many commonplaces about early Christian worship lack substantial evidence, and contrary hypotheses may be more reasonable"--
