- Synopsis
- In a peculiar, limited, but important sense, the history of Christianity is the history of doctrine. For that reason, Christians could disdain to acknowledge massive historical events like the sack of Rome in 410 C. E. Adherents of Roman religion in late antiquity could not, and in the face of disaster on that scale, their faith--their faith in their knowledge--did not so much bend, but break.
