The Arians Of The Fourth Century

""The Arians of the Fourth Century"" is a historical account of the Arian controversy, a theological dispute that rocked the early Christian Church. Written by John Henry Newman, a prominent theologian and convert to Catholicism, the book examines the beliefs, attitudes, and behavior of the Arians, a group of Christians who rejected the orthodox doctrine of the Trinity and held that Jesus Christ was not fully divine. Newman draws on the writings of the Church Fathers and the proceedings of the Councils of Nicaea, Constantinople, and Ephesus to provide a detailed analysis of the Arian position and its impact on the Church. He also explores the political and social context of the controversy, showing how it was shaped by the rivalries and power struggles of the Roman Empire. Ultimately, Newman argues that the Arian heresy was a threat to the very foundations of Christianity, and that the Church's victory over it was a triumph of faith and reason. Written in a scholarly but accessible style, ""The Arians of the Fourth Century"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian theology and the development of Church doctrine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
