The violent history of Christian doctrine

Recommendation: This book is a must-read for those interested in the political and historical battles that shaped Christian doctrine. Jenkins skillfully examines the power struggles of fifth-century church leaders that resulted in today's church teaching about the nature of Jesus and the papacy. The book reveals the surprising and at times violent history of Christian doctrine that is often overlooked. Overall, readers will come away with a deeper understanding of the accidental events that have shaped Christian beliefs for the last 1,500 years.

Description

The Fifth-Century Political Battles That Forever Changed the ChurchIn this fascinating account of the surprisingly violent fifth-century church, Philip Jenkins describes how political maneuvers by a handful of powerful characters shaped Christian doctrine. Were it not for these battles, today’s church could be teaching something very different about the nature of Jesus, and the papacy as we know it would never have come into existence. Jesus Wars reveals the profound implications of what amounts to an accident of history: that one faction of Roman emperors and militia-wielding bishops defeated another.
