I’ve arrived at my writing debut via a life in engineering, painting and sculpting.
Not a usual path for an author, for certain.
Starting at school in Chichester in the south of England, via University at Imperial College, London, UK – where H.G.Wells made his start – I worked through a bunch of jobs mainly in the project management side of the construction industry in England, I finally settled in Southern Ontario, Canada. There, I worked in steel, public housing and bank sectors. Early retirement allowed me to say goodbye to industry. Moved on to Ontario College of Art and Design for honours in Sculpture and Installation. Worked my art practice in a shared stone sculpture studio for over ten years. Now resting my overworked arms to pursue writing.
Generally a life well lived, exposed to all those left weighted brains and right ones too.
Do I sound a bit straight up to you? Maybe. But read what I have to say before you reach any hard onclusion.
This book delves into the complex and transformative relationship between the Christian Church and the state from the early centuries of Christianity through the medieval period. Beginning with the foundational struggles for religious freedom in the Roman Empire, the text explores key moments in Christian history.
The chapters examine how early Christians navigated persecution under Roman rule and how the conversion of Emperor Constantine in 312 CE marked a pivotal moment in the Church's rise to prominence. As Christianity became the state religion, the papacy's influence grew, leading to conflicts such as the Investiture Controversy, where popes asserted authority over the monarchy, and the formation of a papal monarchy that dominated medieval political life.
