Die theologischen Fragmente /
:
This volume is the first critical edition of the theological fragments of Asterius of Cappadocia, the so-called Arian Sophist, who lived in the early fourth century. The first part of the volume provides an introduction to the theological thought of Asterius, an important member of the \'Eusebians\'. It also compares the theological thought of Asterius with Origen's and Arius' theology. The second part consists of the 77 theological fragments of Asterius of Cappadocia with a German translation. In the third part a commentary is given for each fragment explaining the content, the language and also the authenticity of the texts.

Die Fragmente : Der Brief an Julius von Rom /
:
Marcellus of Ancyra (ca. 285/290 - circa 374) was one of the prominent bishops who fought against the Eusebians at the council of Nicaea. After this council, he was the first to attack them, and especially Asterius of Cappadocia. Only fragments of his work were preserved. These fragments, together with a letter which he wrote in 341 to Julius of Rome, the only undisputed works of Marcellus, are collected in this volume. The book opens with an introduction, contains the edition with German translation, notes and indices. In contrast to the former editions of Marcellus' works, this edition follows substantially the new order of the fragments established by K. Seibt (1994). As a result, Marcellus' fragments give an idea of how his work was originally structured.

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.

Pseudo-Athanasius, Contra Arianos IV : eine Schrift gegen Asterius von Kappadokien, Eusebius von Cäsarea, Markell von Ankyra und Photin von Sirmium /
:
Until now the period following the Council of Nicea has remained a dark age of early Christian history. This is partly due to the fact that Eusebius' last and important works, Contra Marcellum and De Ecclesiastica Theologia , have not sufficiently been studied. Comparatively little interest has also been given to the Pseudo-Athanasian text Contra Arianos IV . Careful study and comparison of these works against the background of the post-Nicene debate between Asterius, Marcellus, Eusebius and Photinus, has revealed that (as A. Stegmann already proposed in 1917) Contra Arianos IV was written in about 340 and formed a Nicene critique of Marcellus, his pupil and opponents. Therefore, Stegmann's suggestion of the authorship of Apolinarius of Laodicea needs further investigation. This study on Contra Arianos IV sheds new light on the years between Nicea and the synods of Rome and Antioch (340/341).
