From Jesus to Justinian

From Jesus to JustinianBy Chris Ainsworth
About From Jesus to Justinian

This book challenges what we have always been taught about what the first Christians believed and how their church was organised, it reassess the role and importance of the main players in the early church movement and throws light on the how a persecuted church was miraculously transformed into the Imperial Church of Rome. This not a book about theology, it is a walk through the first centuries of Christianities with their many diverse beliefs and colourful heroic characters, men and women, and is an assessment on how these people shaped the winding course of history that transformed the early church from a small persecuted Eastern Mediterranean religious sect into what would become Europe's dominant religion and how the wide and tolerant views of the church were transformed into the narrow and intolerant orthodox position of the medieval world.
