302 A Source Book for Ancient Church History[276]cit., and Lauchert, op. cit., give texts only.The two great collections of secular laws are:Codex Theodosianus, ed. Mommsen and Meyer, Berlin, 1905.Corpus Juris Civilis, ed. Krüger, Mommsen, Schoell, andKnoll, Berlin, 1899-1902.The Cambridge Medieval History, vol. I, 1912, covers the periodbeginning with Constantine and extending to the beginningof the fifth century. It contains valuable bibliographies of a morediscriminating character than those in the Cambridge ModernHistory, and render bibliographical references unnecessary. Tothis the student is accordingly referred for such matters. Thesecond volume of this work will cover the period 500-850.
Period I: The Imperial State Church Of TheUndivided Empire, Or Until The Death OfTheodosius The Great, 395The history of the Church in the first period of the second divisionof the history of ancient Christianity has to deal primarily withthree lines of development, viz.: first, the relation of the Churchto the imperial authority and the religious forces of the times,whereby the Church became established as the sole authorizedreligion of the Empire, and heathenism and heresy were prohibitedby law; secondly, the development of the doctrinal system ofthe Church until the end of the Arian controversy, whereby thefull and eternal deity of the Son was established as the Catholicfaith; thirdly, the development of the constitution, the fixation ofthe leading ecclesiastical conceptions, and the adaptation of thesystem of the Church to the practical needs of the times. Theentire period may be divided into two main parts by the reign ofJulian the Apostate (361-363); and the reign of Constantine asEmperor of the West (312-324) may be regarded as a prelude tothe main part of the history. On the death of Theodosius the Greatin 395, the Empire became permanently divided, and though inthe second period the courses of the Church in the East and in theWest may be treated to some extent together, yet the fortunes,interests, and problems of the two divisions of the Church beginto diverge.Chapter I. The Church And Empire UnderConstantineConstantine was the heir to the political system of Diocletian.The same line of development was followed by him and his [277]
