Whereas his major surviving text (the \u003ci\u003ePanarion\u003c\/i\u003e, an encyclopedia of heresies) is studied for lost sources, Epiphanius himself is often dismissed as an anti-intellectual eccentric, a marginal figure of late antiquity. In this book, Andrew Jacobs moves Epiphanius from the margin back toward the center and proposes we view major cultural themes of late antiquity in a new light altogether. Through an examination of the key cultural concepts of celebrity, conversion, discipline, scripture, and salvation, Jacobs shifts our understanding of \"late antiquity\" from a transformational period open to new ideas and peoples toward a Christian Empire that posited a troubling, but ever-present, \"otherness\" at the center of its cultural production.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew S.
