{"product_id":"selected-discourses-of-shenoute-the-david-brakke-9781107606678","title":"Selected Discourses of Shenoute the Great: Community, Theology, and Social Conflict in Late Antique Egypt","description":"Shenoute the Great (c.347-465) led one of the largest Christian monastic communities in late antique Egypt and was the greatest native writer of Coptic in history. For approximately eight decades, Shenoute led a federation of three monasteries and emerged as a Christian leader. His public sermons attracted crowds of clergy, monks, and lay people; he advised military and government officials; he worked to ensure that his followers would be faithful to orthodox Christian teaching; and he vigorously and violently opposed paganism and the oppressive treatment of the poor by the rich. This volume presents in translation a selection of his sermons and other orations. These works grant us access to the theology, rhetoric, moral teachings, spirituality, and social agenda of a powerful Christian leader during a period of great religious and social change in the later Roman Empire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Brakke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107606675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107606678\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/22\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.71d","brand":"David Brakke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44173002703103,"sku":"9781107606678","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_363855d4-4cbe-4a5e-a3f7-4e89ce1b3d73.jpg?v=1715410684","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/selected-discourses-of-shenoute-the-david-brakke-9781107606678","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
