| The second millennium has just ended, with much information expended and many words written. But the point from which it began was seldom mentioned. To this end, therefore, I address that which are called Christian writings from these centuries. The containers, the two 1000 year periods if you will, are filled with the convoluted text from their representative times -- years 1 through 1000, and 1001 through 2000. So contained are selected writings from catacomb walls, headstones of martyrs, parchments and illustrated manuscripts, prayer books and grafitti. | |
