Conflicts were also always in the offing as a result of deep theological differences: the African clergy was Latin speaking and very determined to defend strict Chalcedonian orthodoxy, whereas the emperors sometimes proposed more compromising solutions in the many Christological debates SN - 978-88-7839-347-9 pehmeäkantinen SN - 8878393479 KW - kirkkohistoria KW - Church history : Primitive and early church, ca. 30-600 KW - Pohjois-Afrikka KW - Africa, North : Church history ER -
