Saints, Heretics and Fist-Fighting Priests: a Lenten Series led by Fr. Kenn
We will explore Christianity in the 5th Century using the book, Jesus Wars: How Four Patriarchs, Three Queens, and Two Emperors Decided What Christians Would Believe for the Next 1,500 years, by Philip Jenkins. In this fascinating account of the surprisingly violent fifth-century church, Philip Jenkins describes how political maneuvers by a handful of powerful characters shaped Christian doctrine.
