Both local and trans-regional networks of interaction contributed to the expansion of Christianity in this age of fragmentation. This volume investigates a specific aspect of this inter-connectivity in the area of the Mediterranean by focusing on the formation and operation of episcopal networks. The rise of the bishop as a major figure of authority resulted in an increase in long-distance communication among church elites coming from different geographical areas and belonging to distinct ecclesiastical and theological traditions. Locally, the bishops in their roles as teachers, defenders of faith, patrons etc. were expected to interact with individuals of diverse social background who formed their congregations and with secular authorities. Consequently, this volume explores the nature and quality of various types of episcopal relationships in Late Antiquity attempting to understand how they were established, cultivated and put to use across cultural, linguistic, social and geographical boundaries. 546 In English. 588 0 Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on May 02, 2019). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 30-600|2fast 650 0 Church history|yPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85025620 650 0 Episcopacy.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85044439 650 7 Episcopacy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/914292 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Dictionaries.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026086 655 7 Dictionaries.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423826 700 1 Cvetković, Carmen Angela,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/nb2012016890|eeditor. 700 1 Gemeinhardt, Peter,|d1970-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /names/nr2001015797|eeditor. 776 0 |cEPUB|z9783110552515 776 0 |cprint|z9783110551884 830 0 Arbeiten zur Kirchengeschichte ;|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n84746895|v137. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2103370|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
