This thesis attempts to show that religious boundaries were not so simple: Chapter 1 demonstrates how some instances of violence in the career of Athanasius cannot be solely interpreted on religious grounds, and Chapter 2 considers how Athanasius presented the prototypical Christian monk, Antony, as the antithesis of pagan philosophers. Pagans and Christians were not as different from one another as Athanasius suggested, particularly in the areas which he emphasizes, language and education. | | Subject | : | Philosophy, religion and theology; Religious history; 0320:Religious history | | Added Entry | : | University of Calgary (Canada) |
