Donatist Schism
Controversy and Contexts
Inbunden, Engelska, 2016

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This is the first book for over twenty years to undertake a holistic examination of the Donatist Controversy, a bilious and sometimes violent schism that broke out in the North African Christian Church in the early years of the century AD and which continued up until the sixth century AD. What made this religious dispute so important was that its protagonists brought to the fore a number of issues and practices that had empire-wide ramifications for how the Christian church and the Roman imperial government dealt with the growing number of dissidents in their ranks. Very significantly it was during the Donatist Controversy that Augustine of Hippo, who was heavily involved in the dispute, developed the idea of ‘tough love’ in dealing with those at odds with the tenets of the main church, which in turn acted as the justification for the later brutal excesses of the Inquisition. In order to reappraise the Donatist Controversy for the first time in many years, 14 specialists in the religious, cultural, social, legal and political history as well as the archaeology of Late Antique North Africa have examined what was one of the most significant religious controversies in the Late Roman World through a set of key contexts that explain its significance the Donatist Schism not just in North Africa but across the whole Roman Empire, and beyond.

Imperial Panegyric from Diocletianto Honorius examines one of the most importantliteratures of the late Roman period – speeches of praise addressed to the reigningemperor – and the panegyrical culture of the late Roman world more generally. Unlikemuch previous work on this topic, Imperial Panegyric takes a consciously comparativeapproach, especially between eastern and western, Greek and Latin texts.Each contributordraws upon evidence taken from multiple authors or from different kinds of panegyricin order to explore both the communal and the particular in this most idiosyncraticof media. The volume investigates to what extent therewas a unified concept of imperial panegyric, and how local circumstances shapedindividual speeches. It also considers the ways in which traditional forms of praise-givingrespond to fourth-century phenomena such as the expansion of Christianity, collegialrulership, and the decline of Rome as the political centre of the empire. Itscontributors include a roster of some of the most important names in the fieldof panegyric studies, both established researchers and the rising stars of thenew generation.

Kommande
An Open Access edition will be available on publication on the Liverpool University Press website, thanks to funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).The last generation of work on late antiquity has transformed our understanding of how the Roman world became Christian. But in this push for a new social and cultural history of late ancient Christianity, perceptions and practical realities of politics and government have largely been left behind. *Christian Political Cultures *seeks to diversify and reinvigorate the study of Christian political thought in late antiquity by moving beyond contemporary theorisations of the ideal Christian polity and the traditional problems of ‘church and state’. Its eleven essays use rich and sometimes overlooked case studies to map out sophisticated approaches to key themes in late ancient political culture: ‘popular’ perceptions of rule; Roman masculinity; the relationship between orthodoxy and legitimacy; and the political uses of hagiography. Taken as a whole, the book provides a springboard for new thinking about the role of Christian cultural frameworks within the social history of governance in late antiquity.

Chalcedon in Context
Church Councils 400-700

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This collection of essays has its origin in a conference held at Oxford in 2006 to mark the publication of the first English edition of the Acts of Chalcedon. Its aim is to place Chalcedon in a broader context, and bring out the importance of the acts of the early general councils from the fifth to the seventh century, documents that because of their bulk and relative inaccessibility have received only limited attention till recently. This volume is evidence that this situation is now rapidly changing, as historians of late antiquity as well as specialists in the history of the Christian Church discover the richness of this material for the exploration of common concerns and tensions across the provinces of the Later Roman Empire, language use, networks of influence and cultural exchange, and political manipulation at many different levels of society. The extent to which the acts were instruments of propaganda and should not be read as a pure verbatim record of proceedings is brought out in a number of the essays, which illustrate the fascinating literary problems raised by these texts.
