Imperial Unity and Christian Divisions: The Church 450-680 A.D. (The Church in History)

This volume–the second in a planned series of six–attempts to achieve a more balanced approach. Filling the needs of students, but also of a wider readership, it describes the expansion of Christianity in the East and the West in the fifth, sixth, and seventh centuries–from Ireland and the Indian Ocean and from Germany to Nubia. It exposes the tensions which arose between the inevitable cultural pluralism and the needs of Church unity–an issue which stands at the center of modern ecclesiological concerns.
