The Valerian Persecution: A Study of the Relations Between Church and State in the Third Century (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Valerian Persecution: A Study of the Relations Between Church and State in the Third Century
The work was in typewritten manuscript before the author had an opportunity to examine some of the more recent publications dealing with this por tion of history, such as Harnack's Mission und Ausbreitung des Christentums in den ersten drei J ahrhunderten, and especially Lécrivain's Etudes sur l'histoire Auguste but a close examination of these and some other works on the same subject has convinced him that they contain nothing which would call for modification or change in any of the conclusions at which he has arrived.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex relationship between the early Christian church and the Roman Empire during the crucial first three centuries of the Christian era. The author challenges traditional views regarding the causes of persecution, arguing that it stemmed from the state's adherence to time-honored policies rather than blind hatred. The book examines how the Christian doctrine of universal salvation and emphasis on internal spirituality clashed with the established religious practices and political order of the Roman world. It highlights the evolution of legal procedures against Christians, from the initial haphazard approach to the systematic persecution under later emperors. Through a detailed analysis of primary sources, the author provides new insights into the motivations of both the persecutors and the persecuted, illuminating the struggle between two vastly different ideologies. This book offers a comprehensive understanding of the origins and development of one of the most significant conflicts in Western history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331130628_0
