Church and State in Early Christianity (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book delves into the complex and transformative relationship between the Christian Church and the state from the early centuries of Christianity through the medieval period. Beginning with the foundational struggles for religious freedom in the Roman Empire, the text explores key moments in Christian history.

The chapters examine how early Christians navigated persecution under Roman rule and how the conversion of Emperor Constantine in 312 CE marked a pivotal moment in the Church's rise to prominence. As Christianity became the state religion, the papacy's influence grew, leading to conflicts such as the Investiture Controversy, where popes asserted authority over the monarchy, and the formation of a papal monarchy that dominated medieval political life.
