[...] A part of the significance of this study lies in the fact that it examines a period in the history of the Church of Palestine when the throne of Jerusalem was actively engaged in gaining a position of a powerful leader in the Christian world. Placed within the larger context of Christological disputes in 5th century Palestine, this study focuses primarily on the era of Archbishop Juvenal. Archbishop Juvenal is a prominent figure in the Christological controversies of the 5th century, as one of the ecclesiastical leaders who stood in favor of the decisions of the Council of Chalcedon. As a bishop, Juvenal combined the virtues of a hierarch and the skills of a charismatic leader.

It also examines the decisive contribution of Archbishop Juvenal of Jerusalem in the elevation of the Church of Palestine to a metropolitan ecclesiastical administration. [...]
