Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book follows the transformation of the early Christian Church, from an obscure sect to a political and social force, influencing modern ideals of governance. Originally, early Christians had a largely passive attitude towards the state, influenced by the ethical teachings of Jesus. However, as the Church expanded and faced persecution, it began to develop its own structures for governance and define its relationship with secular authority. The author examines the evolution of the episcopate, the role of the Roman primacy, and the Church's struggle for toleration in the Roman Empire. Through its analysis of historical events and movements, the author demonstrates how the Christian Church's experiences shaped the foundations of modern society, contributing to the development of democratic principles and religious liberty.
