Kampf um Kirchen : religiose Gewalt, heiliger Raum und christliche Topographie in Alexandria und Konstantinopel (4. Jh.) /
:
"Die beiden Städte Alexandria und Konstantinopel wurden im 4. Jh. n. Chr. - wie viele andere Metropolen des Römischen Reiches - von tiefgreifenden Unruhen erschüttert. Rivalisierende christliche Gruppen stritten um das lokale Machtgefüge, insbesondere um den Besitz der neu entstehenden christlichen Topographie. Diese gewaltsamen Auseinandersetzungen, etwa um die Apostelkirche, die Hagia Eirene, die Theonaskirche oder die Kirche im Kaisareion, hatten Auswirkungen auf viele Bereiche des städtischen Lebens. Denn die Gebetshäuser, die Konflikte und die Städte selbst begannen sich zu verändern, wo immer ,Kampf' und ,Kirche' aufeinanderstiessen. Die vorliegende Studie widmet sich dem ,Kampf um Kirchen' und seinen Folgen: der zunehmenden Christianisierung der Städte, der Sakralisierung von Kirchengebäuden und einer neuen Form von religiöser Gewalt" -- P. [4] of cover.

Monotheism between pagans and Christians in late antiquity /
:
Summary : The fourth century was a major religious battleground. The rise of Christianity, and in particular its dominance from Constantine onwards, marked an important shift in the religious history of the Mediterranean. Christianity saw this change as the victory of its monotheism over the polytheism of paganism. This volume studies how similarities between paganism and Christianity were obscured in the polemic that was waged by Christianity against paganism and in the pagan responses to it. The volume includes papers on Porphyry, Augustine, Themistius, Latin verse inscriptions, as well as dealing with the different ways in which Christian and pagan thinkers conceived of monotheism. A recurring theme in the papers shows that a concrete religions issue lay at the heart of such polemic: who can worship?

Christian women in the Greek papyri of Egypt to 400 CE /
:
The documentary papyri are an unparalleled source for the study of women in antiquity. Among them are numbers of female-authored texts which allow women's voices to be heard. In the period to 400 CE twenty-six of these texts provide information on Christian women's religious lives. This book analyses these papyri. They give insight into Christian women's knowledge and use of biblical texts, their practice of prayer, their theological understanding of God, their lives and relationships. This book also examines texts written to Christian women or referring to Christian women among which are a valuable group referring to ascetic women. The perspectives of the papyri nuance what is known about women from other sources.

The Go-Between: Augustine on Deacons
:
In recent and contemporary scholarship, the deacon as a leader in the Early Church is an often-neglected subject. This book focuses on the roles and functions of the deacon in Augustine's literary output. The author's approach is detailed and appropriately cautious and is always attentive to the text. He analyses Augustine's way of commenting on deacons and how the bishop of Hippo wrote about them, as well as his manner of preaching on saints and martyrs who were deacons. The book thus provides a new perspective on the early deacons who were not social workers, but go-betweens or intermediaries between the bishop and his flock, between the Scriptures and daily life, and between Church and society. He emphasises in particular how deacons were epistle bearers responsible for the world wide web of Early Christianity.
