This chapter explores one moment in the literary history of the Greek word ‘apostasia’, the Maccabean period of Second Temple Judaism, to suggest that Julian’s religious identity is more nuanced than the emperor’s detractors would have us believe. Raised in a Christian household yet a protector of the Greek and Roman gods—what the emperor described as his commitment to ‘Hellenismos’—Julian, I propose, earned his infamous reputation for acts of accommodation that brought him into conflict with the more rigorous defenders of the faith. Although this development says little about pagan–Christian conflict, it casts new light on social fault lines within fourth-century Christianity.","PeriodicalId":226541,"journal":{"name":"Rhetoric and Religious Identity in Late Antiquity","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125233680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This chapter forms part of a reappraisal of this underappreciated literary phenomenon by considering the rhetorical aspects of a number of heresiologies within the context of classical technical literature. Drawing on parallels from a range of ancient texts, especially medical and encyclopaedic writings, this chapter focuses on the prefaces of heresiologies by Epiphanius of Salamis, Filastrius of Brescia and Augustine of Hippo to illuminate how they employed recognized techniques for the construction of textual authority. Through such close analysis, it is possible to trace the development of heresiology as technē, with each author drawing on both established classical tropes and also the writings of their predecessors in the genre to create their own distinctive rhetoric that advertised the reliable orthodoxy and intellectual supremacy of both writer and text.","PeriodicalId":226541,"journal":{"name":"Rhetoric and Religious Identity in Late Antiquity","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129688907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditionally, scholars attempted to use the Code as a source for the progress of Christianity in the post-Constantinian empire, but this approach has increasingly been regarded as unsatisfactory. This chapter prefers to examine the Code from the perspective of when it was compiled in the mid-fifth century, and determine the extent to which it mirrors the ideology of the empire under Theodosius II. It is argued from this perspective that the Code provides a charter for how to run an empire that is simultaneously Roman and Christian.","PeriodicalId":226541,"journal":{"name":"Rhetoric and Religious Identity in Late Antiquity","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115017441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

John Chrysostom and Augustine had a profound knowledge of rhetoric, yet they became aware that the observance of the principles of eloquence had become less rigorous and accepted that. There were profound changes in the transmission of knowledge and technical literature flourished.

Christians in their characterizations of paganism gave a prominent place to the cult of the Great Mother, usually in salacious and shocking terms, and the chapter focuses on the examples of Arnobius and Firmicus Maternus. These Christian texts are then brought into dialogue with a pagan treatment of the cult, the discourse on the Mother of the Gods written by the emperor Julian. The chapter emphasizes the need to see Julian in context and in dialogue with his times and his contemporaries. A close reading of Julian’s text reveals that he is responding to Christian presentations of the cult, and that he is not just an apostate but also an apologist.","PeriodicalId":226541,"journal":{"name":"Rhetoric and Religious Identity in Late Antiquity","volume":"11 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120909307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Insofar as these Christian burial monuments display motifs both like and unlike those of their non-Christian neighbours, it is possible to examine the ways Christians adapted a pre-existing iconographic vocabulary.

How did individuals and groups come to ascribe identities based on what would now be known as ‘religion’, categorizing themselves and others with regard to Judaism, Manichaeism, traditional Greek and Roman practices, and numerous competing conceptions of Christianity? How and why did examples of self-identification become established, activated, or transformed in response to circumstances? To what extent do labels (ancient and modern) for religious categories reflect a sense of a unified and enduring social or group identity for those included within them? How does religious identity relate to other forms of ancient identity politics (for example, ethnic discourse concerning ‘barbarians’)? This book responds to the recent upsurge of interest in this issue by developing interdisciplinary research between classics, ancient and medieval history, philosophy, religion, patristics, and Byzantine studies, expanding the range of evidence standardly used to explore these questions. In exploring the malleability and potential overlapping of religious identities in late antiquity, as well as their variable expressions in response to different public and private contexts, it challenges some prominent scholarly paradigms through a combination of methodological discussions and case studies of specific texts, authors, genres, themes, and artistic corpora. In particular, rhetoric and religious identity are here brought together and simultaneously interrogated to provide mutual illumination: in what way does a better understanding of rhetoric (its rules, forms, practices) enrich our understanding of the expression of late-antique religious identity? How does an understanding of how religious identity was ascribed, constructed, and contested provide us with a new perspective on rhetoric at work in late antiquity?","PeriodicalId":226541,"journal":{"name":"Rhetoric and Religious Identity in Late Antiquity","volume":"143 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122411831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instead of classifying individuals according to one category membership, their ‘religious identity’, I introduce the notion of identity salience and that of arrangement of category membership sets.

The examination first focuses on their representations of traditional ‘paganism’ (a not necessarily felicitous label for non-Jewish, non-Christian religious domains of speech, thought, and practice) to determine whether they possessed a category that we might label ‘pagan religion’.
