"For over twenty years, Creeds, Councils and Controversies has been an essential source book for students of the later patristic period. Following on from A New Eusebius, it documents the history of the Church from AD 337 to 461. As with its predecessor, Professor W.H.C. Frend now provides a complete revision of the earlier edition, updating the notes and bibliography, and regrouping the documents to make it easier for the reader to follow the development of particular themes."--Back Cover.
