Before we discuss Christianity we must stop and make some considerations. The Christianity of the early high Middle Ages was a collection of notions, beliefs and faiths to identify more closely in a more "Christian". Why the church was concerned to formulate a doctrine to be given to increasing the faithful who came to this new religion. By this time the Hellenistic element of the populations of the East had a lot of value in the early medieval theological disputes. The theme of
death and resurrection of a god, even myth of Eastern religions in the West had ceased to be a symbol to become reality. God was no longer outside the story but also had transfigured by his coming and his death on the cross to save humanity and the Christian God was born to a mother of flesh and had suffered his own flesh. From these considerations that created a "religious scandal" is left to formulate a precise theological basis that it acknowledged the existence of one God from eternity, whose first and only did not allow rivals. This from the political point of view was also an attempt of unification of all the faithful under one body, that of religion, which sometimes cover Imperial deficiencies. The thought greek significantly influenced the formulation of a new theology that saw the heart of their doctrinal debates the issue of Marian, with speeches on the legality of use of the term "Theotokos" as the name of Mary, but especially the Christological, which had as its theme the dual nature of Jesus Christ. In fact, the educational philosophy metaphysics on the 'can not be not "refer to the Trinity and the relationship between Father and Son, had great significance of the great conciliar disputes (remember the dispute between Cyril, monophizite, and Nestorius). The problem was to define the nature of Christ trying to keep in mind that while it was God had made man on the other hand, had suffered and died on the cross. At a time when religious enthusiasm was very strong this type of discussion favored a marked and dangerous intolerance that resulted in a tight battle between a Monophysite and Nestorian.
All this in a climate, the early Middle Ages, anxiety and "pessimism saving" proposal, biblically, from the great desecration of Adam, and historically, the disintegration of the classical vision of the Hellenistic-Roman world . The angst was felt with an intensity hitherto unknown and in order that the atonement had regenerative effect that remedial action was needed to equal sin to cancel. It is therefore necessary that God himself, incarnate, sprinkling the blood of his Son Jesus Christ to make universal redemption and worthy offense went. The man himself would not in any case not remedy and repair the work unworthy of Adam.
