In this study, Ramsay MacMullen steps aside from the well-worn path
that previous scholars have trod to explore exactly how early
Christian doctrines became official. Drawing on extensive verbatim
stenographic records, he analyzes the ecumenical councils from A.D.
325 to 553, in which participants gave authority to doctrinal
choices by majority vote.
The author investigates the sometimes astonishing bloodshed and
violence that marked the background to church council proceedings,
and from there goes on to describe the planning and staging of
councils, the emperors' role, the routines of debate, the
participants' understanding of the issues, and their views on God's
intervention in their activities. He concludes with a look at the
significance of the councils and their doctrinal decisions within
the history of Christendom.
