The Road to Institutionalization of the Early Christian Church by George Bale offers a comprehensive exploration of Christianity's transformation from a decentralized, charismatic movement into a structured institution underpinned by episcopal authority, synodal governance, and doctrinal clarity. Tracing the emergence of the episcopate, the development of regional councils, and the codification of canonical norms, the book analyzes how early Christian leaders navigated internal crises, theological disputes, and imperial engagement to shape the Church's identity and governance.
