Opis

This provocative new study reevaluates the history of the early Church. Focusing on the struggle between Ambrose of Milan, upholder of orthodoxy and the famous Nicene' creed still used in the western Church today, and the heretical Arians who denied the divinity of Christ, Dr Williams challenges the traditional picture of the triumph of orthodoxy. His book is full of illuminating new insights on the social, political and theological entanglements of early Christianity.

Recenzje

His book makes an important contribution. He has reminded us that if we are to appreciate Ambrose in full, we must take full account of the theological and spiritual passions which motivated his soul.
