The Council of Nicea was indeed clerics in a dark and ornate hall, but it was also brawls in churchyards, emperors and governors fighting to save the empire, and political intrigue as the governments of church and state blended into a volatile stew. It was the way a fringe group of peace-loving communal worshipers of a crucified Palestinian prophet conquered the Roman empire.

Leaf through ancient documents.
Read the council's instruction to the churches.
Examine Constantine's review of the council.

Was the Trinity invented at Nicea?
Did the council rewrite the Bible?
Did Constantine change the Sabbath day?
PRAISE FOR DECODING NICEA

Описание: Before the publication of Ante Pacem there was no introduction or sourcebook for early Christian archaeology available in English. Snyder analyses in one lavishly illustrated volume every piece of evidence that can, with some degree of assurance, be dated before the triumph of the emperor Constantine at the Milvian Bridge in 312CE.
First published in 363 AD., this is possibly the most censored book in history. Christian Church Father Cyril of Alexandria called it the most dangerous book ever written and it was burned by official edict of the Christian emperor Justinian in 592 AD.
When its author, Julian the Apostate (Flavius Claudius Julianus Augustus, Emperor of Rome 361--363 A.D.)took up the throne, he reversed the laws making Christianity the Empire's official religion and produced this work refuting the major principles of that religion.
Using logic and satire, Julian pointed out the Hebrew origins of the religion, its inherent contradictions and its inversion of classical Hellenic and Roman thought patterns.
As a result, he was given the title "Apostate" (from the Greek apostasia, the formal renunciation of a religion) by Christian historians.
The book was suppressed after Julian's death in battle the same year it was published, and the last copies were burned by order of Justinian two hundred years later. What remains of Julian's work--captured in these pages--has been reconstructed out of Churchmen's attempts to refute the last pagan emperor of Rome.
It is, I think, expedient to set forth to all mankind the reasons by which I was convinced that the fabrication of the Galilaeans is a fiction of men composed by wickedness. For they have not accepted a single admirable or important doctrine of those that are held either by us Hellenes or by the Hebrews who derived them from Moses; but from both religions they have gathered what has been engrafted like powers of evil, as it were, on these nations--atheism from the Jewish levity, and a sordid and slovenly way of living from our indolence and vulgarity; and they desire that this should be called the noblest worship of the gods.-- Flavius Claudius Julianus Augustus, Emperor of Rome 361--363 A.D.

Автор: Bruce W. Longenecker Название: Greco-Roman Associations, Deities, and Early Christianity ISBN: 1481315161 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781481315166 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 50150.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Understanding associations in the Greco-Roman world enhances the study of the rise of early Christianity—whether at the micro-level of interpreting particular texts or at the macro-level of assessing the spread of Christ-devotion in the pre-Constantinian era. The twenty-five contributions contained within Greco-Roman Associations, Deities, and Early Christianity enlarge our perspectives on the extent to which Greco-Roman associations bring features of Christian origins into relief.Thematic studies include associational social reputation; women in associations; deities and devotion; financial strategies of group maintenance; care for the poor; varieties of group identity; refinements of terminological and conceptual apparatus; funerary practices; occupational groups; and the alleged role of Christianity in the demise of associations. Studies of particular phenomena include 1 Thessalonians, 1 Corinthians, Paul's Collection, Hebrews, a late first-century Christian family, 1 Clement, and Clement of Alexandria.While the essays cover a wide spectrum of topics, they retain a clear focus on aspects of corporate life within ancient associations as comparanda for the study of early Christ-groups within their social milieu. These essays, all kept to a disciplined length, represent the work of impressive scholars from a range of interdisciplinary, intergenerational, and international contexts. The volume's symposium of voices and lively scholarly exchange productively expand current conversations about Greco-Roman associations, deities, and early Christianity.

Описание: In this first of two volumes of Roman Family Empires: Household, Empire, Resistance, Dr Elliott examines the Roman household form as it was changing during the Augustan era – in this time, Augustus relied on his version of the family form to establish his one-man rule of the Empire. Dr Elliott lays out several forms of resistance to the Roman Empire and the family model on which it was built, and offers a reading of Paul’s letter to Philemon, considering the many viewpoints in the room as the letter was read. Her reading reveals a complex negotiation of accommodation and resistance to the Roman family empire and its slave-owning households.

Henderson, Frank Kirkpatrick Название: Constantine and the Council of Nicaea: Defining Orthodoxy and Heresy in Christianity, 325 CE ISBN: 1469631415 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781469631417 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 25080.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Constantine and the Council of Nicaea plunges students into the theological debates confronting early Christian church leaders. Emperor Constantine has sanctioned Christianity as a legitimate religion within the Roman Empire but discovers that Christians do not agree on fundamental aspects of their beliefs. Some have resorted to violence, battling over which group has the correct theology. Constantine has invited all of the bishops of the church to attend a great church council to be held in Nicaea, hoping to settle these problems and others.
The first order of business is to agree on a core theology of the church to which Christians must subscribe if they are to hold to the "true faith." Some will attempt to use the creed to exclude their enemies from the church. If they succeed, Constantine may fail to achieve his goal of unity in both empire and church. The outcome of this conference will shape the future of Christianity for millennia.
