Religious Dissent in Late Antiquity reconsiders the religious history of the late Roman Empire, focusing on the shifting position of dissenting religious groups - conventionally called 'pagans' and 'heretics'. The period from the mid-fourth century until the mid-fifth century CE witnessed a significant transformation of late Roman society and a gradual shift from the world of polytheistic religions into the Christian Empire.This book challenges the many straightforward melodramatic narratives of the Christianisation of the Roman Empire, still prevalent both in academic research and in popular non-fiction works. Religious Dissent in Late Antiquity demonstrates that the narrative is much more nuanced than the simple Christian triumph over the classical world. It looks at everyday life, economic aspects, day-to-day practices, and conflicts of interest in the relations of religious groups.Religious Dissent in Late Antiquity addresses two aspects: rhetoric and realities, and consequently, delves into the interplay between the manifest ideologies and daily life found in late antique sources. It is a detailed analysis of selected themes and a close reading of selected texts, tracing key elements and developments in the treatment of dissident religious groups. The book focuses on specific themes, such as the limits of imperial legislation and ecclesiastical control, the end of sacrifices, and the label of magic. Religious Dissent in Late Antiquity examines the ways in which dissident religious groups were construed as religious outsiders, but also explores local rituals and beliefs in late Roman society as creative applications and expressions of the infinite range of human inventiveness.

This book focuses on recognition and its relation to religion and theology, in both systematic and historical dimensions. While existing research literature on recognition and contemporary recognition theory has been gradually growing since the early 1990s, certain gaps remain in the field covered so far. One of these is the multifaceted interaction between the phenomena of recognition and religion. Since recognition applies to persons, institutions, and normative entities like systems of beliefs, it also provides a very useful analytic and interpretative tool for studying religion. Divided into five sections, with chapters written by established scholars in their respective fields, the book explores the roots, history, and limits of recognition theory in the context of religious belief. Exploring early Christian and medieval sources on recognition and religion, it also offers contemporary applications of this underexplored combination. This is a timely book, as debates over religious identities, problematic forms of extremism and societal issues related with multiculturalism continue to dominate the media and politics. It will, therefore, be of great interest to scholars of recognition studies as well as religious studies, theology, philosophy, and religious and intellectual history.

Places and spaces are key factors in how individuals and groups construct their identities. Identity theories have emphasised that the construction of an identity does not follow abstract and universal processes but is also deeply rooted in specific historical, cultural, social and material environments. The essays in this volume explore how various groups in Late Antiquity rooted their identity in special places that were imbued with meanings derived from history and tradition. In Part I, essays explore the tension between the Classical heritage in public, especially urban spaces, in the form of ancient artwork and civic celebrations and the Church's appropriation of that space through doctrinal disputes and rival public performances. Parts II and III investigate how particular locations expressed, and formed, the theological and social identities of Christian and Jewish groups by bringing together fresh insights from the archaeological and textual evidence. Together the essays here demonstrate how the use and interpretation of shared spaces contributed to the self-identity of specific groups in Late Antiquity and in so doing issued challenges, and caused conflict, with other social and religious groups.

Most surveys of religious tolerance and intolerance start from the medieval and early modern period, either passing over or making brief mention of discussions of religious moderation and coercion in Greco-Roman antiquity. Here Maijastina Kahlos widens the historical perspective to encompass late antiquity, examining ancient discussions of religious moderation and coercion in their historical contexts. The relations and interactions between various religious groups, especially pagans and Christians, are scrutinized, and the stark contrast often drawn between a tolerant polytheism and an intolerant Christianity is replaced by a more refined portrait of the complex late antique world.

This book explores the construction of Christian identity in fourth and fifth centuries through inventing, fabricating and sharpening binary oppositions. Such oppositions, for example Christians - pagans; truth - falsehood; the one true god - the multitude of demons; the right religion - superstition, served to create and reinforce the Christian self-identity. The author examines how the Christian argumentation against pagans was intertwined with self-perception and self-affirmation. Discussing the relations and interaction between pagan and Christian cultures, this book aims at widening historical understanding of the cultural conflicts and the otherness in world history, thus contributing to the ongoing discussion about the historical and conceptual basis of cultural tolerance and intolerance. This book offers a valuable contribution to contemporary scholarly debate about Late Antique religious history and the relationship between Christianity and other religions.

Slavery in the Late Antique World, 150 - 700 CE investigates the ideological, moral, cultural, and symbolic aspects of slavery, as well the living conditions of slaves in the Mediterranean basin and Europe during a period of profound transformation. It focuses on socially marginal areas and individuals on an unprecedented scale. Written by an international team of scholars, the volume establishes that late ancient slavery is a complex and polymorphous phenomenon, one that was conditioned by culture and geography. Rejecting preconceived ideas about slavery as static and without regional variation, it offers focused case studies spanning the late ancient period. They provide in-depth analyses of authors and works, and consider a range of factors relevant to the practice of slavery in specific geographical locations. Using comparative and methodologically innovative approaches, this book revisits and questions established assumptions about late ancient slavery. It also enables fresh insights into one of humanity's most tragic institutions.

Two major transformations of Late Antiquity redefined what it meant to be Roman: the Christianisation of imperial power and the collapse of the Western Roman state. This book examines how Prudentius, Athanasius, Augustine and other Roman and post-Roman writers used the figure of the ‘barbarian’ to articulate these shifting religious, political, and cultural boundaries. Religious identity — especially the divide between Nicene orthodoxy and so-called ‘heretical’ forms such as Homoian Christianity — became a key marker of Romanness. Barbarians such as Goths and Vandals were not only portrayed as ethnic outsiders but also as ‘pagans’ or ‘heretics’, threatening both the Church and Roman civilisation itself. While heresy was often equated with barbarism, Roman elites also downplayed these differences when politically convenient, using religious language to both legitimise and delegitimise power. Through thematic and regional case studies, Kahlos shows how religion, ethnicity and imperial traditions were entangled in the construction of Roman identity – and how ‘barbarians’ were used to define, defend or reshape it.

This book contains the contributions to a workshop on apologetics in early Christianity which took place at the Fifteenth International Conference on Patristic Studies in Oxford in the summer of 2007. The workshop was arranged by scholars from Germany, Finland and Denmark who had for some time worked together in a project on early Christian apologetics. The aim of the workshop was thus to present and discuss some of the results and still unsolved problems which arose from this project. The book presents the contributions to the workshop. Hereby the editors hope to reach a larger audience and thus to be able to further the discussion of the topic of early Christian apologetics.

Totuus Rooman tuhosta - miksi ja miten mahtava valtakunta mureni?Väärät mielikuvat ovat edelleen voimissaan: milloin roomalaiset kaatoi moraalinen rappio, liiallinen kristillinen uskonkilvoittelu, vesijohdoista levinnyt lyijymyrkytys tai leväperäinen talouden pito.Historioitsija Maijastina Kahlos avaa kansainvälisen, uuden tutkimuksen myötä täysin muuttuneen kuvan Rooman valtakunnan loppuvaiheista. Samalla hän pohtii monia kiinnostavia kysymyksiä, kuten oliko Rooma kuin nykyajan Venäjä? Vai oliko Rooman valtakunta, uskontojen, kielten ja kansallisuuksien kirjava tilkkutäkki, kuin nykyajan Yhdysvallat? Tai kaatoiko maahanmuutto Rooman valtakunnan?

Tuhosivatko maahanmuuttajat Rooman? Olivatko roomalaiset itse barbaareja? Roomalaiset ja barbaarit sotivat kiivaasti mutta osasivat myös elää rauhassa. Millaisia roomalaiset olivat valloittajina ja keitä barbaarit olivat? Tapaamme goottien kuningattaren Amalasunthan, joka oli yksi antiikin oppineimpia naisia. Ja kuulemme mitä mietti roomalainen runoilija Ausonius, joka ihastui germaanineito Bissulaan. Teos valottaa ikuisia kysymyksiä eri ihmisryhmien yhteiselosta: vainosta ja rauhasta, vihapuheesta ja suvaitsevaisuudesta.

Tunnetun antiikintutkijan kiehtova aikamatka magian syntysijoille. Miksi pöllö on velhojen lemmikki? Mistä ihmissusi- ja vampyyritarinat tulevat? Magia, noidat ja velhot sijoittuvat fantasian maailmassa usein näennäiseen keskiaikaan. Todellisuudessa monet niitä koskevat käsityksemme periytyvät jo kreikkalais-roomalaisesta antiikista. Huikea kulttuurihistoriallinen teos palauttaa magian antiikkiin, jolloin loitsut, kiroukset, rohdot, ennustukset ja parantajat olivat arkipäivää. Toisaalta noitia pelättiin ja vahingollinen magia oli ankarasti kielletty. Kirjan tarinoissa Kirke taikoo miehet sioiksi, Lucius itsensä vahingossa aasiksi ja velhot kulkevat vetten päällä.
