Product Description

Shows that the paradox of the late antique clash between Christianity and Greco-Roman culture is that classical culture wrote the script for the Christianisation of Roman power. Emperor Julian's writings reveal the continuous influence of traditional philosophical ideals in shaping the competition between fourth-century pagan and Christian leaders.
