In this masterfully written piece of scholarship, Blake Leyerle argues that it was his understanding and strategic use of emotions (or the “passions”) in his narrative preaching that earned him this distinction. John Chrysostom has never been known as one of the great “theologians” of the ancient church. Unlike contemporaries such as Augustine or the Cappadocian fathers, Chrysostom seemed uninterested in formulating complex and intricate theological treatises and apologies. In fact, Chrysostom’s theology and teaching have, at times, even been considered to be inconsistent and incoherent. Scholars such as Robert Hill and David Rylaarsdam have argued that the notion of synkatabasis, or “condescension,” was actually the golden thread that bound his theology;1 Rylaarsdam goes so far as to call Chrysostom’s theology a “rhetorical theology.”2 Leyerle, in this book, takes us even further, and demonstrates that the emotions were central in Chrysostom’s homiletic programme to transform his audience into imitators of virtuous biblical exempla. Unlike Stoic philosophy, Chrysostom does not urge the suppression of emotion—quite the contrary, in fact. By using stories, “Chrysostom explores the sensations associated with various emotions, discloses their underlying thought patterns, and traces their impact” (p. 186). The book focuses mainly on four emotions, namely anger, grief, fear, and zeal. This does not mean that other emotions are not treated throughout the book. But the choice of these emotions is based","PeriodicalId":40708,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Christian History","volume":"10 1","pages":"110 - 114"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2222582X.2021.1948349","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44887632","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}

Scholarly treatments of these passages tend to focus on Paul’s larger rhetorical point, and/or understand the problem of sacrificed meat to be one of complete or incomplete conversion. Instead of reading Paul at face value, this article investigates the logic behind 1 Cor 8, and proposes several ways in which interpreters might understand the sacrificed-meat conflict from native Corinthian perspectives. The investigation covers food taboo, concerns over purity and pollution, political and social motivations, and issues of competing or conflicting identities. While it is impossible to know exactly what was happening among Jesus worshippers in Corinth at this time, the article assumes that Greco-Roman thought worlds are more immediately relevant than Jewish ones, and that “Christianity” and “conversion” are anachronistic categories only just beginning their development in this period.","PeriodicalId":40708,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Christian History","volume":"10 1","pages":"44 - 56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2222582X.2020.1779101","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46811253","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}

The essay investigates the theme of the Christianisation of the Roman Empire as a discourse. The theme is studied through the lenses of mediaeval anthropology and hybridity or syncretism as normal modes of constructions of religious discourses in relation to religious change. It is normally taken as fact that Greek and Roman cults and religions became extinct after the so-called Constantinian Revolution. However, the evidence of religious history is more complex. Christianity/-ies is, one can say, an epiphenomenon of a multitude of processes of cultural shifts and demographic changes affecting the circum-Mediterranean world. The “old religions” did not suddenly cease to exist but continued to shape nascent Christian discourses and practices. This process was not an even one, it differed in pace and shape from one geographic locale to the other—therefore the plural, twilights. Reading the evidence from outside the triumphalist framework characterising early Christian writers, one is left with the unavoidable impression of the interpenetration of “paganism” and Christianity. Christianity was born as a syncretic phenomenon in a process of cultural bricolage. This has some implications, not only for how we conceive of the origins of Christianity, but also for how we conceive of religion as object of theoretical reflection.","PeriodicalId":40708,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Christian History","volume":"10 1","pages":"108 - 142"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2222582X.2021.1928526","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44869860","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}

Julian envisioned the rebuilt temple as a venue for animal sacrifice in honour of the god of the Jews—a god whom Julian identified as one in his Neoplatonic pantheon. He endeavoured to appropriate the ancient tradition of the Jewish cultic rites and their sacred site to fortify his own “Hellene” religious tradition, a combination of elements of ancient Greek and Roman traditions, mystery religions, and fourth-century Neoplatonism that emphasised the efficacy of animal sacrifice. From the point of view of Christian authors, the real motive lay in the emperor’s desire to assail Christianity and its own recently established tradition involving the destruction in 70 CE of the temple, namely that prophecy had been fulfilled and Christians had become the new “chosen people” of God. Julian’s attempt to rebuild the temple thus provides a lens through which to consider a complex interplay of various traditions. I argue that Julian was motivated by his Hellene religious commitment, not necessarily by anti-Christian sentiment—although his Hellenism was in some ways fundamentally incompatible with Christianity. Nor did Julian strive to restore ancient Jewish tradition primarily for the benefit of the Jewish community. Rather, through his “invented” version of their religious tradition, he sought to nurture his own.","PeriodicalId":40708,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Early Christian History","volume":"10 1","pages":"68 - 81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2222582x.2021.1880956","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45667979","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}
