520 In this study, Ramsay MacMullen steps aside from the well-
worn path that previous scholars have trod 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. The author investigates the sometimes
astonishing bloodshed and violence that marked the
background to church council proceedings, and from there
goes on to describe the planning and staging of councils,
the emperors' role, the routines of debate, the
participants' understanding of the issues, and their views
on God's intervention in their activities. He concludes
with a look at the significance of the councils and their
doctrinal decisions within the history of Christendom.
