<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Ancient World - Ancient History<br /><br /> This book focuses on the attempts of three ascetics--John Moschus, Sophronius of Jerusalem, and Maximus Confessor--to determine the Church's power and place during a period of profound crisis, as the eastern Roman empire suffered serious reversals in the face of Persian and then Islamic expansion. Situated within the broader religious currents of the fourth to seventh centuries, this book shines new light on the nature of not only the holy man in late antiquity but also the Byzantine orthodoxy that would emerge in the Middle Ages and remains central to the churches of Greece and Eastern Europe.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>"No one with an interest [in the seventh century] reading this book will regret the investment of time, or fail to come away with a clearer and more comprehensive understanding of events."<i>--Journal of Theological Studies</i> <p/> "The author has an amazing ability to discern the grand schemes of things; to notice the broad intersecting narratives, competing discourses, and paradigm shifts; and to detect the underlying rhetorical concerns of various utterances... This insightful book is highly recommended, especially for scholars of late antiquity and patristic studies."<i><i>--Reviews in Religion and Theology</i></i> <br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Phil Booth</b> is A. G. Leventis Associate Professor in Eastern Christianity at the University of Oxford.
