Anyone know of any book on the history of the early church that is accurate? (no secular nonsense)
 
You might consider Eusebius’ History of the Early Church. I want to say it was written near the end of the 4th century, but don’t quote me on the exact timeframe. You should be able to find a translation in any major book seller, or order it otherwise.

Link to it on Amazon.com

I second this recommendation. Eusebius died around 340 AD, so it was written before that. 🙂 It covers the time from the Apostles through the Council of Nicea (325 AD).

The full text is also online in several places. Here it is at New Advent:

If you’re looking for a readable contemporary Church History without the secular nonsense, I’ve heard great things about H.W. Crocker’s Triumph.
