Description
Jesus Wars: The Fifth-Century Political Battles That Forever Changed the Church The early Christian church was shaped by a series of violent fifth-century battles, fought between rival factions of Roman emperors and militia-wielding bishops. This book explores the surprising extent to which these conflicts influenced the development of Christian doctrine. Jenkins reveals how the outcome of these battles had a profound impact on the church, leading to the emergence of the papacy as we know it today. The story of Jesus Wars is one of accident and circumstance, yet its implications are still felt today. Jenkins examines the key players and events that shaped the course of Christian history, shedding new light on the complex web of alliances and rivalries that defined this pivotal period. By understanding the events of the fifth century, readers can gain a deeper appreciation for the evolution of the Christian church and its enduring legacy.
