Description

About the Author David M. Gwynn is Reader in Ancient and Late Antique History at Royal Holloway, University of London, UK. Product Description This sourcebook gathers into a single collection the writings that illuminate one of the most fundamental periods in the history of Christian Europe. Beginning from the Great Persecution of Diocletian and the conversion of Constantine the first Christian Roman emperor, the volume explores Christianitys rise as the dominant religion of the Later Roman empire and how the Church survived the decline and fall of Roman power in the west and converted the Germanic tribes who swept into the western empire. These years of crisis and transformation inspired generations of great writers, among them Eusebius of Caesarea, Ammianus Marcellinus, Julian the Apostate, Ambrose of Milan, John Chrysostom, Jerome and Augustine of Hippo. They were also years which saw Christianity face huge challenges on many crucial questions, from the evolution of Christian doctrine and the rise of asceticism to the place of women in the early Church and the emerging relationship between Church and state. All these themes will be made accessible to specialists and general readers alike, and the sourcebook will be invaluable for students and teachers of courses in history and church history, the world of late antiquity, and religious studies. Review "Gwynn is to be commended for his writing style's clarity and approachability in describing very complicated events in Christian history. Most impressive, however, is his usage and selection of various primary texts that immerse the reader in the Roman world of the time ... I would highly recommend Gwynn's work as an excellent 'sourcebook' for college majors in either classical studies or church history." - The Classical Outlook"Gwynn (Royal Holloway, Univ. of London, UK) employs a topical, chronological approach to the history of Christianity circa the fourth through seventh centuries. ... Gwynn begins his exploration with a general look at Christianity and Rome in the first three centuries and proceeds to examine specific topics, including persecutions, the rise of Constantine and his imperial church, controversies, and schisms. ... [He] is commended for the extensive use of historical documents, which range in scope from royal decrees to literary works. ... This research tool will assist beginning scholars and others interested in exploring the subject. Summing Up: Recommended. Undergraduates and above; general readers." - CHOICE
