STEPHENS, C. W. B., Canon Law and Episcopal Authority. The Canons of Antioch and Serdica. Oxford University Press, 2015. 306p. Hardback. Series: Oxford Theology and Religion Monographs. Stephens' important book begins and ends with the sobering reminder that the bishops assembled at these councils were more concerned with asserting their own power than with theological issues. More than merely a re-visiting of the Nicene controversy that dominated much of the 4th century, it should be of interest to anyone studying the history of the episcopate, the history of church councils and the history of Late Antiquity.
