Focusing on the historical context of the Catholic Church, this volume offers a detailed examination of its development in the West and East. Philip Hughes moves beyond a strict chronological approach, exploring the Church's evolution within a "politically Roman and culturally Hellenic" framework. The narrative covers the West up to Constantine's conversion in the fourth century and the East until the death of Justinian II in the eighth century, highlighting the complex interplay of cultural and political influences on the Church's history.
