The Fourth Century was crucial to both the Christian Church and
Judaism: it saw the formulation of Christian doctrine and the
completion of the Palestinian Talmud. Christianity was now the
favoured religion of the Roman Empire, but Judaism remained a vital
force. In this meticulously researched study Leopold Lucas explores
the arguments and attitudes of the Church Fathers from Basil to
Augustine. A picture emerges of a strenuous intellectual struggle
between Christians and Jews. Thanks to their political ascendancy,
the Christians emerged victorious. But the same pressures that
excluded the Jews from authority in the Christian State resulted in
their preservation as a necessary and hence tolerated minority
faith in Mediaeval Europe.
