{"product_id":"dialoguing-in-late-antiquity-averil-cameron-9780674428355","title":"Dialoguing in Late Antiquity","description":"\u003cp\u003eChristians talked, debated, and wrote dialogues in late antiquity and on throughout Byzantium. Some were philosophical, others more literary, theological, or Platonic; Aristotle also came into the picture as time went on. Sometimes the written works claim to be records of actual public debates, and we know that many such debates did take place and continued to do so. \u003ci\u003eDialoguing in Late Antiquity\u003c\/i\u003e takes up a challenge laid down by recent scholars who argue that a wall of silence came down in the fifth century AD, after which Christians did not \"dialogue.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAveril Cameron now returns to questions raised in her book \u003ci\u003eChristianity and the Rhetoric of Empire\u003c\/i\u003e (1991), drawing on the large repertoire of surviving Christian dialogue texts from late antiquity to make a forceful case for their centrality in Greek literature from the second century and the Second Sophistic onward. At the same time, \u003ci\u003eDialoguing in Late Antiquity\u003c\/i\u003e points forward to the long and neglected history of dialogue in Byzantium. Throughout this study, Cameron engages with current literary approaches and is a powerful advocate for the greater integration of Christian texts by literary scholars and historians alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Averil Cameron\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674428358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674428355\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/18\/2014 pg. 84","brand":"Averil Cameron","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054251143423,"sku":"9780674428355","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_596c8ad2-1f4c-4f8e-bfcb-5259b4c5c9d0.jpg?v=1685028886","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dialoguing-in-late-antiquity-averil-cameron-9780674428355","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
