By asserting visions which reconciled long-standing intellectual tensions between asceticism and Church, these authors established the framework for their subsequent emergence as Constantinople's most vociferous religious critics, their alliance with the Roman popes, and their radical rejection of imperial interference in matters of the faith. Situated within the broader religious currents of the fourth to seventh centuries, this book throws new light on the nature not only of the holy man in late antiquity, but also of the Byzantine Orthodoxy that would emerge in the Middle Ages, and which is still central to the churches of Greece and Eastern Europe"--Provided by publisher.Transformation of the classical heritage ;52.Church history7th centuryalexandria.anastasius.ancient history.ancient rome.ascetic.bible.byzantine orthodoxy.christian history.christianity.church fathers.church history.church power.constantinople.eastern roman empire.engaging.historical.holy men.imperial interference.intellectual tensions.john moschus.late antiquity.matters of faith.maximus confessor.power of god.religion.religious critics.roman empire.roman popes.sophronius of jerusalem.visions.Church history270.2HIS002000REL070000bisacshBooth Phil1981-931680MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790674703321Crisis of empire3710246UNINA
