Author Description

The Roman Primacy, A.D. 430-451 is a historical book written by Luke Rivington, first published in 1899. The book explores the development of the Roman Catholic Church's claim to primacy during the period between 430 and 451 AD, which was a time of significant theological and political upheaval in the Christian world. Rivington provides a detailed analysis of the debates and controversies surrounding the Roman Church's claim to supremacy, particularly in relation to the Council of Chalcedon in 451 AD. He examines the role of key figures such as Pope Leo I and the Emperor Marcian in shaping the Roman Church's position on primacy, and provides a comprehensive overview of the theological and political context in which these debates took place. The Roman Primacy, A.D. 430-451 is an important historical work that sheds light on the development of one of the most significant institutions in Western civilization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
