Book Synopsis Sons of Hellenism, Fathers of the Church by : Susanna Elm
Book excerpt: “In this magisterial study, Susanna Elm illuminates fresh and persuasive connections between intellectual life and imperial politics in the late Roman empire, describing complex concepts with consummate ease and in a splendidly fluent style. Sons of Hellenism is a model of what a history of ideas should be.”—John Anthony McGuckin, Professor of Byzantine Christian History, Columbia University “With this book, Susanna Elm has blown an irreparable hole in the wall that has long separated the study of philosophy, theology, and politics in the ancient world. Sons of Hellenism is an intellectual tour de force and a master work in every respect.”—H.A. Drake, author of Constantine and the Bishops: The Politics of Intolerance
