Abstract: Few periods of history hare had as wide and as lasting an effect on the thinking of the post-Greco-Roman world as the fifth century. Politically and economically in almost continual confusion, religiously at the mercy of selfish men and jealous factions, this era nevertheless gave to the Christian world one of her most solid and essential foundations of faith. Had the minds of this century not turned to the questions inherent in the Church's yet dimly-defined views on the nature of Christ, the task of definition and clarification would have been left to theologians of later generations with poorer preparation under more difficult circumstances or would have been set aside—perhaps permanently—to the bewilderment of masses of Christians and the confusion of centuries of philosophers and saints.
