"How 4 Patriarchs, 3 Queens, and 2 Emperors Decided WHAT Christians would Believe for the next 1500 YEARS!!!
These were the powerful characters that 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. This book reveals the profound implications of what amounts to an accident of history: that one faction of Roman emperors and militia-wielding bishops defeated another.
I, Judy, and many others have read this great book that totally explains how we got into this mess in the first place. It is a must-have for your library and for your understanding of how everything went totally askew in the 2nd century forward.
It is a great history of how these people lost their love for the truth and went off the wrong track.
