Revised edition
Synopsis
Examines the beginning of the Christian movement during the first centureis AD, and the explosive force of its expansion throughout the Roman world., This revised and updated edition of the first volume of The Penguin History of the Church, examines the beginning of the Christian movement during the first centuries A.D., and the explosive force of its expansion throughout the Roman world., This first volume of the penguin history of the church looks at the beginning of the Christian movement during the first centuries AD and at the explosive force of its expansion throughout the Roman world. Drawing on recent historical research, Professor Henry Chadwock shows how Christianity had its roots in a synthesis of contemporary ideas and beliefs, and analyses the causes of its persecution under Diocletian, the fanaticism of its martyrs and its bitter internal controversies. The conversion of Constantine and the edict of Theodosius meant that the church had to reconcile its spiritual duties with a new, worldly role as an established church for good government throughout the empire, and Professor Chadwick completes his history by demonstrating how this conflict of responsiblilties led to the emergence of the papacy and the monastic movement, the twin pillars of Christianity in the Middle Ages., Examines the beginning of the Christian movement during the first centuries AD, and the explosive force of its expansion throughout the Roman world

    The packaging was super. My purchase was as described. A great addition to my collection from this pattern. Price is very reasonable. The shipping cost was reasonable, but the shipping time line was very slow. So by my saying this I would hope that this seller would speed up their part of getting the purchase to usps sooner. I know our situations are busy but when a customer pays right away, the seller should continue to provide timely delivery of their product. Communication wasn’t provided
