Susanna Elm compares these two men not to draw out the obvious contrast between the Church and the Emperor's neo-Paganism, but rather to find their common intellectual and social grounding. Her insightful analysis, supplemented by her magisterial command of sources, demonstrates the ways in which both men were part of the same dialectical whole. Elm recasts both Julian and Gregory as men entirely of their times, showing how the Roman Empire in fact provided Christianity with the ideological and social matrix without which its longevity and dynamism would have been inconceivable.Transformation of the classical heritage ;49.Church and stateRomeChurch historyPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600RomeHistoryJulian, 361-363RomeReligionancient history.ancient rome.bishop.christian church.christian historians.christian history.christianity.church history.classical history.classical rome.classicists.early christian studies.emperor julian.gregory of nazianzus.hellenism.hellenistic society.historians.historical analysis.ideological background.julian.neopaganism.nonfiction study.political science.prechristian.religion.religious scholars.roman empire.rome.social matrix.Church and stateChurch history270.2092/2Elm Susanna162890MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790598403321Sons of hellenism, fathers of the church3799230UNINA
