Abstract

Ambrose of Milan is famous above all for his struggle with, and triumph over, 'Arian' heresy. Yet, almost all of the evidence comes from Ambrose's own writings, and from pious historians of the next generation who represented him as a champion of orthodoxy. This detailed study argues instead that an 'Arian' opposition in Milan was largely conjured up by Ambrose himself, lumping together critics and outsiders in order to secure and justify his own authority. Along with new interpretations of Ambrose's election as bishop, his controversies over the faith, and his clashes with the imperial court, this book provides a new understanding of the nature and significance of heretical communities in Late Antiquity. In place of rival congregations inflexibly committed to doctrinal beliefs, it envisages a world of more fluid allegiances in which heresy - but also consensus - could be a matter of deploying the right rhetorical frame.

Abstract

Le but de cette étude est de s’interroger sur la liberté de l’individu dans sa famille à la fin du ive siècle, quand l’église triomphante a pu influencer les moeurs et les lois, par l’action notamment d’un personnage puissant et actif tel qu’Ambroise, évêque de Milan. La nouvelle religion change-t-elle quelque chose à la vie quotidienne des hommes et des femmes du Bas-Empire ? L’ouvrage observe les permanences avec l’ancienne société mais aussi les mutations amenées par l’ordre nouveau à différents moments cruciaux de la vie des familles. C’est tout d’abord l’étape importante du mariage : quand, comment et avec qui se marier ? Les questions religieuses, économiques et militaires de l’époque viennent interférer dans la nouvelle législation. Autre temps familial délicat : l’heure des conflits, entre les époux, entre parents et enfants, entre frères et soeurs. On se déchire pour une infidélité conjugale, pour des questions d’argent, de succession, de religion… Les solutions romaines traditionnelles de résolution des conflits sont tantôt approuvées, tantôt dénoncées par le clergé. L’auteur tente d’éclaircir ce que doit alors être la conduite chrétienne voulue par l’église et d’établir quelles sont les marges de la liberté qui reste à l’individu, souvent pris en tenailles entre des volontés parfois : l’empereur et Dieu, ou le père et le Père.

Abstract

In this new and illuminating interpretation of Ambrose, bishop of Milan from 374 to 397, Neil McLynn thoroughly sifts the evidence surrounding this very difficult personality. The result is a richly detailed interpretation of Ambrose's actions and writings that penetrates the bishop's painstaking presentation of self. McLynn succeeds in revealing Ambrose's manipulation of events without making him too Machiavellian. Having synthesized the vast complex of scholarship available on the late fourth century, McLynn also presents an impressive study of the politics and history of the Christian church and the Roman Empire in that period.Admirably and logically organized, the book traces the chronology of Ambrose's public activity and reconstructs important events in the fourth century. McLynn's zesty, lucid prose gives the reader a clear understanding of the complexities of Ambrose's life and career and of late Roman government.

Abstract

Although it would appear in studies of late antique ecclesiastical authority and power that scholars have covered everything, an important aspect of the urban bishop has long been neglected: his role as demonologist and exorcist. 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.
