More about the book
The narrative explores the transformation of a once-persecuted sect into a dominant religious force, highlighting the shift in perspective regarding religious tolerance. Initially advocating for the idea that belief is a personal choice, the Christians later contradict this principle when they gain political power, revealing the complexities and contradictions of faith when intertwined with authority. This examination invites reflection on the nature of belief and the impact of power on religious practices.
