Though there can be no doubt that polemical exchanges     existed between individuals in the context of private discussions or     formal debates, the exact relation of the dialogical texts and historical     reality is sometimes unclear. In the case of ancient Christian dialogues,     contradicting analyses have been put forward. Some scholars think they     represent reliable documents about the «real» debates. Others contend that     such texts are purely literary entities, and that their purpose was     self-definition. Certainly no general theory can be adduced to account for     all early Christian dialogical texts against the Jews. The present book,     however, tries to evaluate both views with a series of contributions on a     neglected late antique Greek dialogue, the \u003ci\u003eDialogue of Timothy and     Aquila\u003c\/i\u003e (6th-7th c. AD). For the sake of comparison, the second part     includes papers on a medieval latin dialogical text, the \u003ci\u003eDialogus\u003c\/i\u003e     written by Peter Alfonsi (11th-12th c. AD). The last part gathers studies     about the less documented other side: Jewish polemical texts against     Christianity. The book is introduced by a historiographical survey by     William Horbury.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55171263955318,"sku":"9789042938571","price":134.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_31846174.jpg?v=1737420291","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9789042938571-jewish-christian-disputations-in-antiquity-and-the-middle-ages-fictions-and-realities","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
