Description:What was distinctive about Xian biography in late antiquity? This book examines a range of biographies of prominent Xians written in the 4-5th centuries, suggesting they share a purpose & function which sets them apart from non-Xian equivalents. This was an age in which the lives of saints 1st emerged as a literary phenomenon, & a broad perspective on this developing genre is complemented by close readings of more problematic works such as Eusebius of Caesarea's Life of Constantine & the Confessions of Augustine of Hippo. In including such idiosyncratic examples, the aim is to provide a definition of Xian biography which extends beyond mere hagiography, & which expresses a new understanding of the world & the place of individuals within it. It was a world in which lives might be authored by Xians, but could be authorised only by God.Introduction: biography & typologyPrefaceAbbreviations1 Constantine: the authorised life2 Gregory & Basil: a double life3 Antony & Jerome: life on the edge4 Augustine: the life of the mind5 The end of sacred historyConclusion: authorised livesBibliographyConclusionWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
