Product Description
" By the time of Augustine, "worship is no longer a 'hole and corner' affair celebrated in the upper room of a poor house on a side street. The Christian religion is now protected, even encouraged, by the Empire. The result is that Christians erect church buildings, which excel in magnificence even the pagan temples; the officials of the faith are decked in splendid vestments; and public worship reflects the fact that the despised Nazarene has conquered the imperial might of Rome. This is in fact Christianity on parade.
”... The theologians had now come to understand more fully the mighty acts of God in the incarnation, the cross and the resurrection of Christ. These doctrines were carefully elaborated because they had to be protected from the misunderstandings of the heretics. They were built into a creed."
