Jesus Wars
How Four Patriarchs, Three Queens, and Two Emperors Decided What Christians Would Believe for the Next 1,500 Years

The book delves into the political and theological battles of the early Christian church, focusing on the 5th-century conflicts among church leaders and secular rulers over defining the nature of Jesus Christ. It examines how these disputes over Christology, particularly at the Council of Chalcedon, shaped the religious and political landscape of Christianity for centuries to come.
