Vol. CII - Including Papers Presented at the Seventh British Patristics Conference, Cardiff, 5-7 September 2018","description":"\u003cmeta content=\"text\/html; charset=utf-8\" http-equiv=\"Content-Type\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cp\u003e      This volume contains fifteen papers presented at the seventh British       Patristics Conference, held in Cardiff (Wales, UK) from 5 to 7 September       2018. The theme of the conference was Religion in Late Antiquity. The       papers address topics such as transformation and innovation,       interrelations between religions, and between religions and other areas       of culture: philosophy, education, politics and science. Some deal with       aspects of the pre-history of religion in late antiquity, others with       the reception of late-antique religion in later periods of history.       Consequently, alongside papers that treat more ‘traditional’ topics of       Patristic Studies there are papers applying approaches and methodologies       such as identity formation and reception theory. \u003cbr\u003eThe volume thus       offers a cross section of topics related to religion in late antiquity       from the second to the thirteenth century and reflects the current state       of research in this wide field.\u003cbr\u003eThe papers are grouped in four       sections, I. Ancient Philosophy, Early Christianity and Judaism; II.       Christianity in its Cultural Context from the Second to the Fourth       Century; III. Augustine and His Age; IV. The End of Antiquity and       Beyond. \u003cbr\u003ePart I contains papers by Ilaria Ramelli, who compares       pagan and Christians concepts of the ‘Logos\/Nous One-Many’ in pagan and       Christian philosophers of the second to fourth century, David Lloyd       Dusenbury, who explores the concept of the World City in the thought of       Nemesius of Emesa, and Susanna Towers, who compares the ‘Demoness’ found       in eastern Manichaean texts with the pre-Rabbinic Jewish concept of       \u003ci\u003eYetzer Hara\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003ePart II begins with a paper by Josef Lössl on       the juxtaposition of Greek and Barbarian Paideia in Tatian’s \u003ci\u003eAd       Graecos\u003c\/i\u003e. This is followed by a new discussion of the Cento       attributed to Faltona Betitia Proba, in which Nicholas Baker-Brian       situates the work firmly in the reign of Julian the Apostate and       understands its criticism of Constantius II in this context. A third       paper, by Zachary Esterson, compares the oeuvres of Victorinus of Pettau       and Fortunatianus of Aquileia. A fourth, by James Wellington, offers a       new, ontological, reading of Gregory of Nyssa’s refutation of slavery in       \u003ci\u003eIn Ecclesiasten Homiliae IV\u003c\/i\u003e; and in a final piece entitled ‘A       Tale of Two Councils’, Sara Parvis compares the two Councils of       Constantinople of 360 and 381. \u003cbr\u003eWith Augustine, Part III moves from       the fourth to the fifth century. In it, Philip Brown shows how       Augustine’s sixth tractate on John contains an emerging ‘theology of       friendship’. Georgiana Huian explores notions of ‘Deification’ in Sermo       23B (Mainz 13) also known as ‘Sermo Dolbeau 6’. Math Osseforth studies       an example of intertextuality in the Confessions, the Vergilian concept       of the Underworld. Marcin Wysocki compares strategies of survival in       apocalyptic times in late-antique letter collections (Paulinus of Nola,       Augustine, Jerome). \u003cbr\u003ePart IV contains papers from ‘the end of       antiquity and beyond’. Georgios Siskos writes on Maximus the Confessor’s       critique of Monothelitism, Michael Muthreich on an excerpt of Epistle       VIII of the Dionysian corpus in Syriac, Helen Dayton on Nikitas       Stithatos main work, 300 Kephalaia, and Andrej Kutarna on Theosis in       John of Damascus and Thomas Aquinas.    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55171291251062,"sku":"9789042941670","price":150.51,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_31524852.jpg?v=1737420333","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9789042941670-studia-patristica-vol-cii-including-papers-presented-at-the-seventh-british-patristics-conference-cardiff-5-7-sept","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
