This first volume of the penguin history of the church looks at the
beginning of the Christian movement during the first centuries AD
and at the explosive force of its expansion throughout the Roman
world. Drawing on recent historical research, Professor Henry
Chadwock shows how Christianity had its roots in a synthesis of
contemporary ideas and beliefs, and analyses the causes of its
persecution under Diocletian, the fanaticism of its martyrs and its
bitter internal controversies. The conversion of Constantine and
the edict of Theodosius meant that the church had to reconcile its
spiritual duties with a new, worldly role as an established church
for good government throughout the empire, and Professor Chadwick
completes his history by demonstrating how this conflict of
responsiblilties led to the emergence of the papacy and the
monastic movement, the twin pillars of Christianity in the Middle
Ages.
