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. 606 $aDemonology$xHistory of doctrines$yEarly church, ca. 30-600 606 $aChurch history$yPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600 607 $aAntioch (Turkey)$xReligious life and customs 607 $aJerusalem$xReligious life and customs 607 $aMilan (Italy)$xReligious life and customs 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDemonology$xHistory of doctrines 615 0$aChurch history 676 $a235/.409173209015 700 $aKalleres$b Dayna S.$f1970-$01049501 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461639903321 996 $aCity of demons$92478566 997 $aUNINA
