Project Gutenberg 2012-05-31 Public domain in the USA. 84 Allies, T. W. (Thomas William) 1813 1903 Allies, Thomas William Allies, Thomas W. The Formation of Christendom, Volume II "The Formation of Christendom, Volume II" by T. W. Allies is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume delves into the development of the Christian Church and the establishment of Christendom, examining the historical interactions between Christianity and various philosophies, cultures, and religions at the time of Christ's emergence. The author seeks to portray how this development unfolded against a backdrop of a complex, polytheistic world dominated by numerous deities, rituals, and conflicting belief systems. The opening portion of the book begins with a preface that introduces the author's exploration into the formation of Christendom. Allies reflects on the content and themes established in the first volume, emphasizing the transformative power of Christianity on both the individual soul and society at large. He proceeds to outline the historical context surrounding the rise of Christianity, detailing the political and cultural landscape of the Roman Empire and the pervasive polytheistic practices of the time. Through an examination of different gods worshipped across nations, Allies underscores the moral and spiritual corruption inherent in these idolatrous systems, setting the stage for the subsequent dialogue on the emergence of a unified Christian Church amidst this pagan backdrop.
