- Summary:
- Was dachten die Griechen unter römischer Kontrolle über Einheit und Uneinigkeit, angefangen von den griechischen Städten bis hin zum römischen Reich, der Menschheit und dem Universum? Greg Stanton zeigt, dass die christlichen Autoren der ersten beiden Jahrhunderte einige besondere Vorstellungen über Einheit hatten, aber andere Ideen wie die Einheit der Menschheit ähnlich wie griechische Redner und Philosophen behandelten.
