  • - Contextualizing Augustine's Pneumatology
    af Chad Tyler Gerber
    687,95 - 1.881,95 kr.

    St Augustine's pneumatology remains one of his most distinctive, decisive, and ultimately divisive contributions to the story of Christian thought.

    af Kevin Corrigan
    569,95 - 1.979,95 kr.

    Evagrius of Pontus and Gregory of Nyssa have been overlooked by philosophers and theologians in modern times.

    572,95 - 1.771,95 kr.

Edwards presents a survey of theological applications of the term Logos in Greek, Jewish and Christian thought from Plato to Augustine and Proclus.

  • - Oracles of the Gods
    af Crystal Addey
    577,95 - 1.649,95 kr.

  • - Reception of an Anti-Christian Text in Late Antiquity
    af Ariane Magny
    639,95 - 1.782,95 kr.

    The Greek philosopher Porphyry of Tyre had a reputation as the fiercest critic of Christianity. It was well-deserved: he composed fifteen discourses against the Christians, so offensive that Christian emperors ordered them to be burnt. We thus rely on the testimonies of three prominent Christian writers to know what Porphyry wrote.
