Opis

Prophets and Hierarchs Prophets and Hierarchs aims at providing a sound understanding of the trials and tribulations of Christianity since the days of Jesus of Nazareth. It deals with its institutionalization and its consequences, points to the ever-present contrast between prophetism and sacred power, examines how it faced the Signs of the Times, and discusses the circumstances which led to its splintering into hundreds of different confessions.
