  • ABSTRACT the Apostolic Tradition in the Ecclesiastical Histories Of
    ABSTRACT The Apostolic Tradition in the Ecclesiastical Histories of Socrates, Sozomen, and Theodoret Scott A. Rushing, Ph.D. Mentor: Daniel H. Williams, Ph.D. This dissertation analyzes the transposition of the apostolic tradition in the fifth-century ecclesiastical histories of Socrates, Sozomen, and Theodoret. In the early patristic era, the apostolic tradition was defined as the transmission of the apostles’ teachings through the forms of Scripture, the rule of faith, and episcopal succession. Early Christians, e.g., Irenaeus, Tertullian, and Origen, believed that these channels preserved the original apostolic doctrines, and that the Church had faithfully handed them to successive generations. The Greek historians located the quintessence of the apostolic tradition through these traditional channels. However, the content of the tradition became transposed as a result of three historical movements during the fourth century: (1) Constantine inaugurated an era of Christian emperors, (2) the Council of Nicaea promulgated a creed in 325 A.D., and (3) monasticism emerged as a counter-cultural movement. Due to the confluence of these sweeping historical developments, the historians assumed the Nicene creed, the monastics, and Christian emperors into their taxonomy of the apostolic tradition. For reasons that crystallize long after Nicaea, the historians concluded that pro-Nicene theology epitomized the apostolic message. They accepted the introduction of new vocabulary, e.g. homoousios, as the standard of orthodoxy. In addition, the historians commended the pro- Nicene monastics and emperors as orthodox exemplars responsible for defending the apostolic tradition against the attacks of heretical enemies. The second chapter of this dissertation surveys the development of the apostolic tradition.

  • Thesis Presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Brunel
    SOCIAL STATUS AND CONVERSION The Structure. of the Early Christian Communities Dimitris J. Kyrtatas Thesis presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Brunel University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology April 1982 TO My pARENTS ABSTRACT This thesis is concerned with social aspects of early Christianity, It considers the social origins and careers of the early Christians, as far as they can be traced in the scanty and fragmented evidence. The spread of Christianity is examined in relation to the prevailing social and economic conditions of the Roman world in the first centuries AD, The Christian attitudes to slavery and the penetration of Christianity into the countryside are discussed at some length. The evidence considered does not justify the traditional views which regard early Christianity as a religion of the underprivileged and the oppressed. Except for the imperial slaves and a small number of favour- ites of Christian masters, slaves, as far as it can be established, were not eager to embrace the new relegion, while in-the countyside, Christi- anity seems to have found its first adherants among the landowning and Hellenized peasants* In the cities, besides bankerst artisans and prosperous freedmen, Christianity attractedq as it is illustrated, many people of leisurep education and wealth, Overall, it is maintained, that although in principle Christianity drew its members from all social classes and groups, professing egalitarian doctrines, it was in effect more successful with the middle classes of the cities, which it organized under the leadership of wealthy and highly educated church officials. Millennial and prophetic tendencies, with strong social implicationst such as were manifest among the first generation of Christians, survived or were revived only as marginal phenomenat especially in the countryside.

  • Fr. Thomas Kuzhinappurathu.Pmd
    INTRODUCTION The only Christian law we have is the law of love – love of God and love of neighbour. Jesus said, “I give you a new commandment that you love one another” (Jn.13, 34). All other laws are supposed to be specifications of the law of love. They are meant to help us to love God and our neighbour better in specific situations. The 1546 canons of the Code of Canons of the Oriental Churches (CCEO) are meant to promote this law of love. It is also noteworthy that the new code of canons gives great importance to pastoral exigencies. In confronting the Pharisees Jesus said, “The Sabbath was made for humankind, not humankind for the Sabbath” (Mk.2, 27). Here Jesus teaches that laws should be framed for the good of man. They are not meant to enslave people. It further implies that every law must be discussed in order to be more fully understood. Some laws are time-bound and culturally conditioned. If they are obsolete they should be changed and replaced with more useful laws. I remember my friend Fr. Augustine Joseph telling me about a recent movie called, Provoked. It is a true story about a Punjabi girl who marries a Punjabi boy settled in London. As their marriage progresses the girl suffers great violence from her husband. Unable to stand it any longer she one day sets her husband on fire as he sleeps. She is arrested by the police and convicted for the crime. A human rights organization in London takes up her case and appeals for a retrial.

Women’s relationship with religion has been particularly fraught. In the ancient Roman world where Christianity was shaped, religion was implicated in every aspect of social life, including law and politics, legal status of slave or free; ethnic identity; family and sexuality; medical and philosophical notions of what it means to be human; the organization of social space; gendered speech and writing; and indeed the very structure of the cosmos. In this context, Christians both contested and reshaped attitudes toward the family and sexuality, redefined ethnicity, and negotiated imperial power, while at the same time appropriating many of the values and assumptions of a highly stratified slave society where public exhibitions of torture were normal and the binary of male/female was structurally foundational. Learning goals include the following: (1) Students will learn how to engage a variety of disciplines, methods, and frameworks for critically engaging constructions and performances of sex/gender/sexuality in early Christian and contemporaneous texts.

Cowe, Co-Chair Professor Michael G. Morony, Co-Chair The dissertation examines the impact of the peace Yazdgerd I (r. 399-420) maintained with the Roman emperor Theodosius II on the conditions of Christians in the Sasanian Empire and Greater Armenia under Sasanian suzerainty. The objective of this study is to create a broad, inclusive reconstruction of the situation of Christians in the Sasanian Empire during the fourth and fifth centuries. The developments of Christianity in Greater Armenia were parallel and interconnected with the situation of the Church in heart of the Sasanian Empire. It is my goal here to study the consequences that followed the peaceful reign of Yazdgerd I for the Christian communities of the Sasanian Empire and Greater Armenia over the next centuries into the early Islamic period. ii Previous studies have represented the policies of the empire towards Christians as part of a deliberate, systematic plan to promote imperial centralization by defining Christians as a distinct religious group with related policies on their taxation, legal rights, and political status, a precursor to the millet system.

All Rights Reserved Hunter, David G. , Professor of Religious Studies and Monsignor James A. Supple Chair of Catholic Studies, Iowa State University Marriage, Celibacy, and Heresy in Ancient Christianity The Jovinianist Controversy Publication date 2007 (print edition) Print ISBN: 978-0-19-927978-4 doi:10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199279784.001.0001 Abstract: In the later years of the fourth century the monk Jovinian was condemned at Rome and Milan for teaching that all baptized Christians were equal in God's sight and that all would receive an equal reward in heaven regardless of ascetic merit. This book is the first study in English devoted to Jovinian and the controversy sparked by his teaching. In chapter 1 I offer a reconstruction of Jovinian's teaching, uncovering its strong anti-heretical emphases, exposing its biblical foundations, and relating it to fourth-century baptismal practice. Subsequent chapters place Jovinian in a variety of contexts: the rise of a Christian aristocracy in the fourth century (chapter 2); the development of an anti-heretical tradition in the first three centuries (chapter 3); the proliferation of this heresiological discourse in the fourth century (chapter 4); and the history of Marian theology, especially on the matter of Mary's perpetual virginity (chapter 5). In the final two chapters I distinguish the different approaches to marriage, celibacy, and clerical life evinced by Jovinian's opponents (chapter 6), and highlight the ways in which one of these opponents, Jerome, became the object of criticism and accusations of heresy.
