Contents:
The heart of the matter part 1. God and Caesar. The war of two natures Four horsemen: the Church's patriarchs Queens, generals, and emperors part 2. Councils of chaos. Not the Mother of God? -- The death of God Chalcedon part 3. A world to lose. How the Church lost half the world What was saved.
Summary: Jesus Wars reveals how official, orthodox teaching about Jesus was the product of political maneuvers by a handful of key characters in the fifth century. Jenkins argues that were it not for these controversies, the papacy as we know it would never have come into existence and that today's church could be teaching some-thing very different about Jesus. It is only an accident of history that one group of Roman emperors and militia-wielding bishops defeated another faction. --from publisher description.
