the cambridge history of

CHRISTIANITY*

Constantine to c.600

This volume in the Cambridge History of Christianity presents the‘golden age’ of patristic Christianity. After episodes of persecutionby the Roman government, Christianity emerged as a licit religionenjoying imperial patronage and eventually became the favouredreligion of the empire. The articles in this volume discuss the rapidtransformation of Christianity during late antiquity, giving specificconsideration to artistic, social, literary, philosophical, political,inter-religious and cultural aspects. The volume moves away fromsimple dichotomies and reductive schematisations (e.g., ‘heresy v.orthodoxy’) toward an inclusive description of the diverse practicesand theories that made up Christianity at this time. While propor-tional attention is given to the emergence of the Great Churchwithin the Roman empire, other topics are treated as well – suchas the development of Christian communities outside the empire.

He is author of Evagrius Ponticus (2006) andTradition and Theology in St John Cassian (2006) and assistanteditor of The Cambridge History of Early Christian Literature (2004).

the cambridge history of

CHRISTIANITY

The Cambridge History of Christianity offers a comprehensivechronological account of the development of Christianity in all itsaspects – theological, intellectual, social, political, regional, global –from its beginnings to the present day. Each volume makes a sub-stantial contribution in its own right to the scholarship of its periodand the complete History constitutes a major work of academicreference. Far from being merely a history of Western EuropeanChristianity and its offshoots, the History aims to provide a globalperspective. Eastern and Coptic Christianity are given full consider-ation from the early period onwards, and later, African, Far Eastern,New World, South Asian and other non-European developmentsin Christianity receive proper coverage. The volumes cover popu-lar piety and non-formal expressions of Christian faith and treat thesociology of Christian formation, worship and devotion in a broadcultural context. The question of relations between Christianityand other major faiths is also kept in sight throughout. The Historywill provide an invaluable resource for scholars and students alike.
