Henry Chadwick byl anglický sportovní novinář a historik, často nazývaný „otec baseballu“. Jeho rané reportáže a příspěvky pomohly formovat hru, kterou známe dnes. Vytvořil první baseballový průvodce prodávaný veřejnosti a zavedl koncept box scores a zkratku „K“ pro strikeout. Chadwickovy statistické inovace, jako je průměr pálkaře a průměr získaných bodů (ERA), položily základy moderního hodnocení baseballových výkonů.

Rare scholarly insight into the early church -- still relevant for the church today This anthology offers a choice selection of writings by one of the twentieth century's premier church historians, Sir Henry Chadwick. Many of Chadwick's considerable contributions to a fuller understanding of the early church were unpublished or not circulated widely during his lifetime, but here they are compiled in a convenient, accessible form. Reflecting Chadwick's wide-ranging expertise, this volume contains his essays on a variety of themes pertaining to the early church, including the emerging faith's relationship to classical culture; the interaction between piety, politics, and theology; councils in the early church; the power of music in the church; and more.
