Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the religious policies of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I and their impact on the non-Christian sects within his empire. The author argues that Justinian's primary objective was to establish a unified Christian state and that he viewed the eradication of paganism and other "heretical" beliefs as essential to achieving this goal. The book examines Justinian's legislative and military campaigns against non-Christians, as well as his efforts to promote orthodoxy through theological writings and the sponsorship of church councils. It also explores the broader historical context of Justinian's reign, including the rise of Christianity as the dominant religion in the Roman Empire and the challenges posed by the survival of traditional pagan beliefs and practices. The author concludes that Justinian's religious policies were largely successful in suppressing non-Christian sects within the Byzantine Empire, but that they also contributed to the growing division between the Eastern and Western Churches.
