Descrição

In this thought-provoking exploration of early Christian authority, George E. Demacopoulos delves into the complex relationship between papal authority and apostolic discourse during late antiquity. He focuses on the pivotal figure of Leo the Great, who, on the first anniversary of his election, addressed an assembly of bishops with profound implications for the Church's future. This moment not only underscores Leo's influence but also reflects the evolving nature of ecclesiastical power and its foundations in apostolic tradition.

Through meticulous analysis and historical context, the narrative reveals how the early Church grappled with the interpretation of apostolic texts and their relevance to the authority of the papacy. By examining the theological underpinnings of Leo's speeches and the reactions they prompted, the work invites readers to reconsider the origins and dynamics of Christian leadership. Demacopoulos presents a nuanced portrait of a transformative period, inviting scholars and enthusiasts alike to engage with the fundamental questions surrounding religious authority and its lasting impact on the Church.
