Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In Ad 381, Theodosius, Emperor Of The Eastern Roman Empire, Issued A Decree In Which All His Subjects Were Required To Subscribe To A Belief In The Trinity Of The Father, Son And Holy Spirit. This Edict Defined Christian Orthodoxy And Brought To An End A Lively And Wideranging Debate About The Nature Of God; All Other Interpretations Were Now Declared Heretical. It Was The First Time In A Thousand Years Of Grecoroman Civilization Free Thought Was Unambiguously Suppressed. Yet Surprisingly, The Popular Histories Claim That The Christian Church Reached A Consensus On The Trinity At The Council Of Constantinople In Ad 381. Why Has Theodosius'S Revolution Been Airbrushed From The Historical Record? In This Groundbreaking New Book, Acclaimed Historian Charles Freeman Shows That The Council Was In Fact A Sham, Only Taking Place After Theodosius'S Decree Had Become Law. The Church Was Acquiescing In The Overwhelming Power Of The Emperor. Freeman Argues That Theodosius'S Edict And The Subsequent Suppression Of Paganism Not Only Brought An End To The Diversity Of Religious And Philosophical Beliefs Throughout The Empire, But Created Numerous Theological Problems For The Church, Which Have Remained Unsolved. The Year Ad 381, As Freeman Puts It, Was A Turning Point Which Time Forgot.
