Description
This volume closely examines patterns of rhetoric in surviving correspondence by the Roman emperor Constantine on conflicts among Christians that occurred during his reign, primarily the Donatist schism and Arian controversy.Commonly remembered as the first Christian emperor of the Roman Empire, Constantines rule sealed a momentous alliance between church and state for more than a millennium. His well-known involvement with Christianity led him to engage with two major disputes that divided his Christian subjects: the Donatist schism centred, from the emperor''s perspective, on determining the rightful bishop of Carthage, and the so-called Arian controversy, a theological conflict about the proper understanding of the Son''s divine nature in relation to that of the Father. This book examines a number of letters associated with Constantine that directly address both of these disagreements, exploring his point of view and motivations to better understand how and why this emperor applied his power to internal church divisions. Based on a close analysis of prominent themes and their functions in the rhetoric of his correspondence, Pottenger argues that three doctrines of power served to inform and direct Constantines use of power as he engaged with these problems of schism and heresy.Power and Rhetoric in the Ecclesiastical Correspondence of Constantine the Great is of interest to students and scholars of early Christianity and the history of the later Roman Empire.
