Spanning one of the most formative and contentious eras in Christian history, the volume chronicles the great doctrinal disputes—including the Arian controversy, the Nestorian schism, and the Monophysite debates—through the very letters, conciliar decrees, and imperial edicts that shaped them. Stevenson's editorial approach is rigorous and scholarly, providing contextual introductions and annotations that guide readers through the complex interplay of theology, politics, and ecclesiastical authority. The tone is authoritative and academic, making it an indispensable resource for students and scholars of patristics, church history, and late antiquity. As a companion to Stevenson's earlier collection A New Eusebius, this volume stands as an essential primary-source anthology for anyone seeking a deep and direct engagement with the foundational controversies of early Christianity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48792227217627,"sku":"2026600000260-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/06948ff1-5db9-4a2c-90cd-dffeebf08ac2.png?v=1779273590","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026600000260-secondhand-creeds-councils-and-controversies-documents-illustrative-of-the-history-of-the-church-a-d-337-461","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
