Flight during times of persecution has a long and fraught history in early Christianity. In the third century, bishops who fled were considered cowards or, worse yet, heretics. On the face, flight meant denial of Christ and thus betrayal of faith and community. But by the fourth century, the terms of persecution changed as Christianity became the favored cult of the Roman Empire. Prominent Christians who fled and survived became founders and influencers of Christianity over time. Bishops in Flight examines the various ways these episcopal leaders both appealed to and altered the discourse of Christian flight to defend their status as purveyors of Christian truth, even when their exiles appeared to condemn them. Their stories illuminate how profoundly Christian authors deployed theological discourse and the rhetoric of heresy to respond to the phenomenal political instability of the fourth and fifth centuries. 606 $aBishops$zRome$xHistory$yEarly church, ca. 30-600 610 $a4th century. 610 $a5th century. 610 $abetrayal of community. 610 $abetrayal of faith. 610 $abible. 610 $abishops. 610 $achristianity. 610 $achurch. 610 $adenial of christ. 610 $aepiscopal leaders. 610 $aexiles. 610 $afavored cult. 610 $afleeing persecution. 610 $agod. 610 $aheretics. 610 $aphenomenal political instability. 610 $apurveyors of christian truth. 610 $arhetoric of heresy. 610 $aroman empire. 610 $arunning away. 610 $atheological discourse. 610 $atimes of persecution. 615 0$aBishops$xHistory 676 $a270.2092 700 $aBarry$b Jennifer, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0987170 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910321956703321 996 $aBishops in Flight$92256090 997 $aUNINA
