The Church is seen in close relation to its original setting in Jewish and Gentile society, to which the Christians were indebted, and yet at the same time, with the zeal of the martyrs, defiant. The internal controversies among the Christians are analyzed with rare clarity.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the author examines the conversion of Constantine and the suppression of paganism by Theodosius, which led to the development of the social and political role of the Church, and the contrasting institutions of Papacy and Monasticism, which continue to assert the independence of merely secular values. For further reading there is a list of books, which has been brought up to date for this revised edition.<\/p>\n<p>Companion Products:<\/p>\n<p class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/classic.powertactics.com\/product\/history-of-the-early-church-set\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">History of the Early Church Set<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students are invited to continue on from a historical study of the Hebrew people to an investigation of the history of the Church.
