Anyone got any boring hobbies that they want to admit to?
Starting right at the beginning (i.e. Pentecost), peaking around St Augustine, and I lose interest a bit after the Great Schism of 1054.
I think things like the C7th debate around the monothelite heresy. Everybody by then agreed that Christ had separate divine and human natures, but couldn't agree on whether those two natures were united in a single will.
Nowadays the only theological question we ever get is about where you can put your willy, which is really neither here nor there.
I'm interested in 4th century Roman history, so have an interest in Church History from that angle, in particular the Arian heresy, which had such a profound effect on the birth of medieval Western Europe.

That is an interesting subject. Some scholars maintain that the separation of Christ from God was the reason Islam was able to convert the east from christianity without too much doctrinal difficulty. Constantine is probably one of the most complex characters of the late Roman Empire.

I prefer Roman history when the gods were the gods and the plebs were the plebs. Long live the Republic.

It is also interesting because it created a split in the West between the Orhodox / Athanasian / Catholic Romans and the Arian Barbarians residing in the Empire. It is arguable that this religious split between the two communities had an important role in the transition of the Western Roman Empire into Barbarian kingdoms.
