The Church began during the time of the Roman Empire. Set in this backdrop, it was during these early years that various questions and thoughts about the nature of Christ arose. There was considerable conversation and controversy regarding the true nature of Christ. In this presentation we will attempt to put some historical context on these theological debates. What were some of these ideas and what role did the Roman Empire play in shaping the Churches ideas on these topics? Specifically, we will look at the ideas in Arianism, Monophysitism and Diaphysitism as we discuss this interesting time in the history of the Christian Church.
Dave Evans is a lifelong Catholic with a 40-year career as a Research Scientist. Even though he spent his professional life doing science he has always had an interest in history of the early Christian Church. As a cradle Catholic he always wondered how the Church arrived at some of the precepts we believe. As a way of growing in our faith he feels it is sometimes helpful if we understand some of the history behind these beliefs.
