When the emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion of the realm, bishops and priests everywhere struggled  to "Christianize" the urban spaces still dominated by Greco-Roman monuments and festivals. During this period of upheaval, when congregants seemingly attended everything but their own "orthodox" church, many ecclesiastical leaders began simultaneously to promote aggressive and insidious depictions of the demonic. In City of Demons, Dayna S. Kalleres investigates this developing discourse and the church-sponsored rituals that went along with it, showing how shifting ecclesiastical demonologies and evolving practices of exorcism profoundly shaped Christian life in the fourth century.DemonologyHistory of doctrinesEarly church, ca. 30-600Church historyPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600Antioch (Turkey)Religious life and customsJerusalemReligious life and customsMilan (Italy)Religious life and customs4th century.christian history.christian power.christianity.city life.civic.demonologist.ecclesiastical authority.ecclesiastical demonologies.ecclesiastical leaders.emperor constantine.engaging.exorcism.exorcist.government and governing.greco roman festivals.greco roman monuments.historical.history of christianity.late antiquity.late roman era.lively.page turner.political.roman empire.rome.urban bishoprics.DemonologyHistory of doctrinesChurch history235/.409173209015Kalleres Dayna S.1970-1439850MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797576903321City of demons3602132UNINA
