- Double-weighted statement
- This book combines material normally partitioned into three disciplines: Ancient History, Theology and Study of Religion. Each sub-discipline favours one discrete mode of explanation (historical, intellectual, sociological) for the phenomena that it studies, but this study draws connexions demonstrating that we cannot understand doctrinal developments without attention to their political background, or assess modern claims in the study of religion without considering the historical evidence on which they were originally based. No other volume pursues such a comprehensive understanding of religious thought in an era which was peculiarly formative for the history of Christianity, and therefore for all western history.
