| Summary: | Sara Parvis has given us a thoroughly researched study, which in the course of disentangling a number of knotty problems displays shrewd judgement, immense ingenuity, and a panache that would do credit to a political columnist. Marcellus comes on the scene as an able young bishop, who manages the Synod of Ancyra in ad 314 with skill and moderation. The division of the eastern churches after the quarrel beteen Arius and his bishop leaves Marcellus campaigning to remove the leaders of the ‘Eusebian’ faction, and failing to do so at Nicaea, which was to that extent a defeat for Alexander and his allies. The fall of Eustathius of Antioch reversed such advantage as he and his allies had gained, and left the Eusebians able to remove their chief opponents, including Marcellus. |
