"By fine literary detective work, MacMullen reassembles the mobs of bishops who debated, voted, and rioted in the fifteen thousand or so early church councils, tracing the progress of Christianity from a raucous democracy to a harnessed hierarchy."-Garry Wills, Northwestern University, "A wonderfully fresh look at the early Christian councils . . . both scholar and lay reader will find this volume a treasure trove to be savored and enjoyed."--Gaye Strathearn,BYU Studies, "In MacMullen's highly original book we get a sense of what it was like to be at an early church council, how arguments ebbed and flowed, how power was wielded, how participants were intimidated and inspired."--David Brakke, Indiana University, "Ramsay MacMullen has written another provocative and highly original book.

Both scholar and lay reader will find this volume a treasure trove to be savored and enjoyed."--Gaye Strathearn, BYU Studies "Read this book for the author's insight into the practical mechanics through which consensus emerged from church councils and the bottom-up view of their proceedings. For students of early Christianity it is a valuable complement to previous scholarly treatments that focused exclusively on well-known ecclesiastical personalities and separated the study of theology from the messy entanglements of late antique civic life."--Jennifer L. Hevelone-Harper, The Historian "If C-SPAN had been broadcasting in the late antique period, Ramsay MacMullen would be the chief color commentator. . . . Here, one finds deep reading, learning, and study. But it is not worn heavily on the sleeves of this academic's gown. Instead, what we have is a highly readable extended essay that is almost conversational but never loses its gravitas ."--Christopher M.

Synopsis
In this study, Ramsay MacMullen steps aside from the well-worn path that previous scholars have trod to explore exactly how early Christian doctrines became official. Drawing on extensive verbatim stenographic records, he analyzes the ecumenical councils from A.D. 325 to 553, in which participants gave authority to doctrinal choices by majority vote. The author investigates the sometimes astonishing bloodshed and violence that marked the background to church council proceedings, and from there goes on to describe the planning and staging of councils, the emperors' role, the routines of debate, the participants' understanding of the issues, and their views on God's intervention in their activities. He concludes with a look at the significance of the councils and their doctrinal decisions within the history of Christendom.
