Welcome to Litsy!

Working my way through The Hinges of History series. It‘s quickly becoming one of my favorite nonfiction history books.

The People‘s crusade was an absolute mess…but did it have an underlying purpose?

New word alert- Homooussios is used to describe Jesus and God as one. Constantine the Great inserted this word into Christian doctrine at the Council of Nicaea to counter Aries of Alexandria who told followers Jesus is not God. #ashorthistoryofbyzantium #johnjuliusnorwich #councilofnicaea #constantinethegreat #byzantineempire #homoousios #arianism #christianity #churchhistory #worldhistory #europeanhistory #history

How meta 🇫🇷. On a different note, this book is much more interesting (less dry) than expected!
