Divided into three parts, the first considers the efforts of Christians to construct their own philosophy, and their own patterns of the philosophic life, in opposition to Platonism. The second assembles evidence of survival, variation or decay in religious practices which were never compulsory under Roman law. The 'religious plurality' of the second section includes those cults which are represented as demonic burlesques of the sacraments by Firmicus Maternus. The third reviews the changes, both within the church and in the public sphere, which were undeniably prompted by the accession of a Christian monarch. In this section on 'Christian polyphony', Mark Edwards expertly moves on from this deliberate petrifaction of Judaism to the profound shift in relations between the church and the civic cult that followed the Emperor's choice of a new divine protector. 588 0 Vendor-supplied metadata. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 00 Constantine|bI,|cEmperor of Rome,|d-337|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79055925|xReligion.|0https:/ /id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002007663 600 07 Constantine|bI,|cEmperor of Rome,|d-337.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1813658 648 7 30-600|2fast 650 0 Church and state|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85025534|zRome.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79039816-781 650 0 Religious pluralism|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85112700|zRome.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /names/n79039816-781 650 0 Church history|yPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85025620 650 7 Religion.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1093763 651 0 Rome|xReligion.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh96009771 651 0 Rome|xHistory|yConstantine I, the Great, 306-337.|0https:/ /id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85115161 651 7 Rome (Empire)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204885 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version :|z9780199687725 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1064079|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
