"This book is an exploration of the process by which the European mind was closed by the revolution of the fourth century. Its concerns are many: the rise of the 'divine' monarch in a tradition here traced back to Alexander the Great, the struggles as Christianity painfully separated itself from Judaism, the conflict between faith and reason, the problems in finding any kind of rational basis for Christian theology. In these centuries, a turning-point for Western civilisation, we see the development of Christian anti-Semitism, the origins of the opposition of religion and science and the roots of Christianity's discomfort with sex, issues which haunt the Christian churches to this day."--Jacket.
