Leo the Great was a major figure of the late Roman world whose life and work were profoundly intertwined with the political crisis of his day. As the western empire gradually succumbed to the advancing barbarian kingdoms, Leo understood that the papacy needed to expand its authority in order for the church to survive the demise of the political system. This book argues that his achievement was to transform the church not only in the practical level of administrative organization, but in the more fluid realm of thought and idea. The secular Rome that was crumbling was replaced with a Christian, universal Rome that he fashioned by infusing his theology with humanitarian ideals.

Ibas lebte und wirkte im 5. Jahrhundert in der Stadt Edessa (heute: Urfa, Türkei). Im Jahre 435 übernahm er von seinem theologischen Gegner Rabbula den Bischofsstuhl. Oftmals erhält er den Beinamen "Übersetzer", da er verschiedene Werke aus dem Griechischen ins Syrische übersetzte. Der Bischof Ibas von Edessa (gest. 457) war intensiv an der die Zeit bestimmenden christologischen Auseinandersetzung beteiligt. Sein berühmter Brief an den Perser Mari aus dem Jahre 433 wurde zum Kontroversdokument in Edessa selbst und auf den verschiedensten großkirchlichen Konzilien nicht nur für Jahre, sondern für über ein Jahrhundert. Die Arbeit macht es sich zur Aufgabe, die Lebenswelt und Theologie des edessenischen Bischofs in seiner Komplexität zu erörtern sowie seine Rolle und Position sowohl in der christologischen Kontroverse als auch in der nachchalcedonischen Diskussion aufzuarbeiten. Das geschieht unter Berücksichtigung sozialer, frömmigkeitsgeschichtlicher und verfassungsrechtlicher Aspekte. Indem die Arbeit sich einer Gestalt des syrischen Sprachraums widmet, versteht sie sich als Beitrag der bis heute noch unerledigten Aufgabe in einer vornehmlich eurozentrierten Kirchengeschichte, Figuren syrischer Provenienz ernst zu nehmen. Die Untersuchung wird damit dem historischen und gleichermaßen ökumenischen Anliegen gerecht, die Vielfalt der orientalischen Christenheit in ihrer Geschichte und Eigenart zu verstehen.

At once brave and athletic, virtuous and modest, female martyrs in the second and third centuries were depicted as self-possessed gladiators who at the same time exhibited the quintessentially "womanly" qualities of modesty, fertility, and beauty. L. Stephanie Cobb explores the double embodiment of "male" and "female" gender ideals in these figures, connecting them to Greco-Roman virtues and the construction of Christian group identities. Both male and female martyrs conducted their battles in the amphitheater, a masculine environment that enabled the divine combatants to showcase their strength, virility, and volition. These Christian martyr accounts also illustrated masculinity through the language of justice, resistance to persuasion, and-more subtly but most effectively-the juxtaposition of "unmanly" individuals (usually slaves, the old, or the young) with those at the height of male maturity and accomplishment (such as the governor or the proconsul). Imbuing female martyrs with the same strengths as their male counterparts served a vital function in Christian communities. Faced with the possibility of persecution, Christians sought to inspire both men and women to be braver than pagan and Jewish men. Yet within the community itself, traditional gender roles had to be maintained, and despite the call to be manly, Christian women were expected to remain womanly in relation to the men of their faith. Complicating our understanding of the social freedoms enjoyed by early Christian women, Cobb's investigation reveals the dual function of gendered language in martyr texts and its importance in laying claim to social power.
