CHADWICK, HENRY - The Early Church (the Pelican History of the Church, Volume 1)

London: Hodder & Stoughton Ltd, 1968. Second Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). ISBN: 0340043075. With library stamps and labels. Slight shelfwear. ; Original dustjacket. ; Ex-Library; 14x21x2.8 cm; 304 pages; Drawing on the latest historical research, Professor Henry Chadwick 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 an 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 responsibilities led to the emergence of the Papacy and the monastic movement, the twin pillars of Christianity in the Middle Ages..
