    Saying this as a not exactly religious person, these debates actually had a huge impact on history and our resulting world today. Perspectives like the humanity or divinity of Jesus have shaped the worldview of generations in ways that are difficult to understand without examining this aspect of history. Great addition, thanks!
  • @Liquidsback
    Soooo....you are just NOT going to talk about the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch and its divisive nature at the Council of Nicaea?
  • @Wkumar07
    The divisions of the Early Church shaped not only the modern beliefs of Christianity but also how the secular world would approach the subject of religion. These debates were some of the most important in Western History.
  • @apollosdomain
    Can you guys do one on Zoroastrianism, its origin, early interaction with various polytheistic Iranic and Semitic religions, it’s spread and later how it influenced other religions of the near east.
  • As a religious Christian man: I think this was a pretty good and simplified introduction to the history of Ecumenical Councils for those who are unfamiliar with much of Church history. Thank you for this video :)
  • Augustine of Hippo is from my city, Annaba (ancient hippo), Algeria, and his mother Monica too, and Donatus is from modern day Tebessa, he is considered a national hero in Algeria, since donatism is viewed as a Numidian uprising against Roman authority.
  • @RedX99735
    Funny how the Great Schism is always remembered as a turning point of Christianity while there had been several important schims before it. Once again, it is important to see who is telling the story.
  • @stockton375
    As an orthodox christian i found this video extremely accurate except for the mentioning of Jerusalem as the birthplace of christ. He was born in Bethlehem which is adjacent to Jerusalem but not part of the city. Jerusalem is however the birthplace of the church because it was there that pentecost happened.
  • @arthegor
    As an Orthodox Christian I love this video explaining in some detail the controversies. I wished you could added the slapping of Arian by Saint Nicholas and how he got thrown in the jail. On account of this, Constantine revoked Nicholas's miter and pallium but in the cell that night he got dressed back by the Virgin and given a book by Christ if I recall correctly. Which is an important event in the eastern church.
  • @QuasarSniffer
    Very glad that the debate between whether or not Free Will can shape our actions or if we are only moral due to Divine Grace would be solved by the end of the 5th century. What a thorny issue that could have been! I'm sure that British Bishop who debated with Augustine didn't bring his resentment back home at all.
  • @angelb.823
    Having attended a Greek Orthodox academy, I had a wish of researching the various Oriental sects of early Christianity and the split that emerged from it before the schism of 1054, just for research though. Kings and Generals does a great job in simplying the events leading to the creation of the sects that would shape the very modern Christian nations of the Middle-East. And just to be clear, I don't have intentions of picking sides. Just doing research purposes.
  • Kings and generals are always brilliant. We always appreciate your time and hard work to make these videos. Love from Sri Lanka ❤
  • @Brady-mn9bc
    FASCINATING. More political/ church/ economic history please
  • @ronjohnson6916
    Good overview of some really complicated stuff. I have some superficial understanding of the topics and this helped make some things clear.
  • A video on Bogomilism and how Alexios komnenos dealt with it would be interesting
  • @cheddar1554
    Love this idea for a video. A bit different from the battle/ political videos and most people don't have this stuff explained to them in a simple and interesting way
  • Augustine of Hippo, along with his mother Monica, is from my hometown of Annaba (ancient Hippo), Algeria. Donatus, on the other hand, hails from modern-day Tebessa and is revered as a national hero in Algeria due to the widespread belief that donatism represented a Numidian rebellion against Roman rule.
  • @angelb.823
    18:38 "The Churches of the East continue to exist to this day, having profound impacts on the Middle-East's cultural tapestry". Me also watching Bishop Emmanuel Yoship/Mar Mari Manuel's videos on Youtube at the same time: It surely does.
