When Jesus Became God

This work of theology and early Church history centers around a debate involving the nature of Jesus Christ. During the 4th century of Constantine's declining Roman Empire, a priest and a bishop--Arius and Athanasius--held opposing views on whether Jesus was human or divine. This so-called Arian controversy was and is an important event in Christian history, attracting the attention of Richard E. Rubenstein, a specialist in religious and social conflict.
