Publisher's Synopsis
""A History of the Church: From the Edict of Milan, A.D. 313, to the Council of Chalcedon, A.D. 451"" is a book written by William Bright and originally published in 1860. The book provides a comprehensive account of the history of the Christian Church during a crucial period of its development, from the Edict of Milan in 313 to the Council of Chalcedon in 451.The Edict of Milan was issued by the Roman Emperor Constantine in 313, granting religious toleration to Christians and effectively ending the persecution of the Church. This marked a turning point in the history of Christianity, as it allowed the faith to spread and flourish throughout the Roman Empire.The Council of Chalcedon, held in 451, was a major event in the history of the Church, as it defined the nature of Christ and established the doctrine of the hypostatic union, which affirmed that Jesus was both fully human and fully divine.In between these two events, William Bright chronicles the major developments in the Church, including the rise of monasticism, the spread of Christianity throughout Europe, and the various theological controversies that arose during this period.Overall, ""A History of the Church: From the Edict of Milan, A.D. 313, to the Council of Chalcedon, A.D. 451"" provides a detailed and engaging account of a crucial period in the history of Christianity, and is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of the Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
