Au temps de Marc Aurèle, ce volume raconte l’ultime métamorphose des origines chrétiennes face au “règne des philosophes”: une Église qui se structure, une foi qui s’affirme, et un Empire façonné par l’éthique stoïcienne. Entre Forum et catacombes, se croisent réformes sociales, culte des martyrs, premières liturgies, et débats brûlants sur l’autorité des évêques, le canon et la discipline. En contrechamp, la figure lumineuse de Marc Aurèle, ses Pensées, ses réformes du droit et ses contradictions devant les martyrs, dessine une civilisation au seuil de son crépuscule antique.
