Christendom at the crossroads

"In Christendom at the Crossroads, J. A. Sheppard explores the development of Christian theology in the medieval period. Expertly leading readers through the major theological controversies and issues of the era, Sheppard highlights why those particular questions were so important for Christian believers at that time. He uses the Apostles' Creed as the background to show how medieval theology developed, the ways that crucial issues were debated, and the effects those debates had on the church and Christian belief."--BOOK JACKET.
