Voting About God in Early Church Councils by Ramsay MacMullenIn this study, Ramsay MacMullen steps aside from the well-worn path that previous scholars have tried 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.This hardcover book is in good condition with minor imperfections to the dust jacket.ISBN 10: 0300115962 / ISBN 13: 9780300115963Publisher: Yale University PressPublication Date: 2006
