The launch of this book completes the Trilogy. Patrick writes : ” I am excited about the publication of this volume which completes my overview of the first 500 years of the church’s life and mission in three volumes. Amidst persecution and controversy, and often in great vulnerability ,the message of Christ transformed the Roman world.Courage and faith were the watchwords of these Christians and a willingness to challenge the nostrums of the day, whatever the cost. They have a message for us now, which is not hard to find.”

The period covered by this book (ad 381–451) is the first in which the church can be said to have exercised a dominant role in political history. For some it is the period in which the church lost its innocence. Yet without the innovations of Constantine and his successors, it is hard for us to imagine what Christianity might have been. Without this time of consolidation and increasing conformity, Europe would not have existed as we now know it—nor, for that matter, would Islam.
