The Church in the Age of Constantine: The Theological

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Roldanus, Johannes, PUBLISHER: Routledge, In the Age of Constantine Christians experienced for the first time official recognition ong>andong> support. The Roman Empire used religion not only as cement to unite its different populations, but as a means to win divine favor as well. When this mechanism was threatened by ong>doctrinalong> dissensions or regional rivalries, the Emperor would intervene contributing to the supremacy of one persuasion. In the 20th century European Christianity lost its dominant position. Critics, seeing dominance as foreign to the Gospel's nature, blame the Constantinian Age as a time of error ong>andong> fall. However, African ong>andong> Asian Christians are fascinated by its successful inculturation. Such discussions demong>andong> examination ong>andong> Roldanus provides a refined theological screening of the ong>doctrinalong> ong>andong> ethical thinking during the fourth century. Roldanus uses the concept of "contextualization" to appreciate this process. He makes clear that, however much the winning positions were dependent on the interfering of the State, the theological reflection went nevertheless its proper way, conditioned as it was by various understong>andong>ings of salvation-in-Christ. There was a natural concern to relate salvation to the most important elements of the existing culture. This study aims to help students ong>andong> interested lay-people to focus on the essentials ong>andong> to form ong>andong> unprejudiced opinion on this crucial period of history.
