Publisher's Synopsis
The Council of Third Constantinople stands as the last council of the church to debate the nature of Christ's divinity. Its edicts and canons, and the politics that surround their composition, are largely forgotten to modern audiences. Since fourteen centuries have past since its commencement very few of its proceedings have been retained in our collective cultural consciousness. Moreover, the political firestorm, which threatened to toppel the fragile Easetern Roman Empire and cast Christendom into chaos, has been relegated to the obscure context of our Western cultural history. Nonetheless, Constantinople III served as a harbinger of future tumult, of the philosophical and political disunity that would rupture the common accord of the Christian world, a disunion which would have further casulties, and which has endured to the present day.
