The Control Of Christianity By The State Under Constantine And His Successors - Abram Herbert Lewis - Bog

""The Control of Christianity by the State under Constantine and his Successors"" by Abram Herbert Lewis is a historical account of the relationship between the Christian church and the Roman state during the reigns of Emperor Constantine and his successors. The book explores how the state gradually gained more control over the church, leading to the eventual establishment of Christianity as the official religion of the Roman Empire. Lewis examines the political and social factors that influenced this process, including the role of the emperor, the development of church hierarchy, and the influence of various Christian sects. The book also discusses the impact of this relationship on the wider society, including the suppression of pagan religions and the persecution of heretics. Written in a clear and accessible style, ""The Control of Christianity by the State under Constantine and his Successors"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity, the Roman Empire, or the relationship between religion and politics.THIS 20 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Paganism Surviving in Christianity, by Abram Herbert Lewis.
