The Christian Symbolics of Power in a Zoroastrian Empire --Conclusion --Notes --Bibliography --IndexChristian communities flourished during late antiquity in a Zoroastrian political system, known as the Iranian Empire, that integrated culturally and geographically disparate territories from Arabia to Afghanistan into its institutions and networks. Whereas previous studies have regarded Christians as marginal, insular, and often persecuted participants in this empire, Richard Payne demonstrates their integration into elite networks, adoption of Iranian political practices and imaginaries, and participation in imperial institutions. The rise of Christianity in Iran depended on the Zoroastrian theory and practice of hierarchical, differentiated inclusion, according to which Christians, Jews, and others occupied legitimate places in Iranian political culture in positions subordinate to the imperial religion. Christians, for their part, positioned themselves in a political culture not of their own making, with recourse to their own ideological and institutional resources, ranging from the writing of saints' lives to the judicial arbitration of bishops. In placing the social history of East Syrian Christians at the center of the Iranian imperial story, A State of Mixture helps explain the endurance of a culturally diverse empire across four centuries.Transformation of the classical heritage ;56.Christianity and other religionsZoroastrianismChristianity and politicsIranHistoryTo 1500ZoroastrianismRelationsChristianityChristiansIranSocial conditionsTo 1500IranCivilizationTo 640ancient middle eastern religions.ancient persia.ancient political systems.ancient religions.christian inclusion in late antiquity.christian law.christianity and politics.christianity.christians in iran.comparative religion.early iranian civilization.history of religion in iran.iranian political practice.monotheistic religions.religion in the mediterranean.religion in the near east.religion.religions of persia.zoroastrian empire.zoroastrianism.Christianity and other religionsZoroastrianism.Christianity and politicsHistoryZoroastrianismRelationsChristianity.ChristiansSocial conditions275.5/03Payne Richard E.1981-1534055MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797237003321A state of mixture3781281UNINA01133nam0 22002771i 450 UON0019984020231205103248.61620030730d1971 |0itac50 bafreFR|||| |||||ˆL' ‰ecole capitaliste en FranceChristian BaudelotRoger EstabletParisF.
