He also examines the impact of Roman culture on the conquered territories, including the spread of Christianity and the development of Roman law.In the second part of the book, Kingsley explores the Germanic tribes, including their social structures, religious beliefs, and customs. He also examines the conflicts between the tribes and their interactions with the Roman Empire.Throughout the book, Kingsley emphasizes the importance of understanding the historical context of these interactions and the impact they had on the development of Western civilization. The Roman and the Teuton is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of an important period in European history.We must remember next what the Greek Church was then; a chaos of intrigue, villainy, slander, and wild fury, tearing to pieces itself and the whole Empire by religious feuds, in which the doctrine in question becomes invisible amid the passions and crimes of the disputants, while the Lords of the Church were hordes of wild monks, who swarm out of their dens to head the lowest mobs, or fight pitched battles with each other. The ecclesiastical history of the fifth century in the Eastern Empire is one, which not even the genius of a Gibbon or a Milman can make interesting, or even intelligible.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
