Produktinformationen zu „Education and Religion in Late Antique Christianity (ePub)“
The attitude of late ancient Christians towards classical education was complex and has in recent years been extensively studied with particular attention being paid to the different theoretical positions that can be found among the Church Fathers. Their attitudes ranged from enthusiastic assimilation to outright rejection, which sometimes masked implicit adoption. Shifting attention away from such explicit statements, this volume focuses on a series of lesser-known texts in order to study the impact of specific literary and social contexts on late ancient educational views and practices.
