ISBN-13: 978-0-85323-648-1, ISBN: 0-85323-648-8

"This volume makes available three works attributed to Constantine – two of which were certainly not written by him – which are important sources for historians of the papacy, Christianity and Constantine himself. The Oration to the Saints is an intellectual defense of Christianity, which puts the case for monotheism, extols the incarnation and voluntary abasement of the Son of God, and finally declares Constantine’s personal adher ..."

Porphyry in Fragments : Transmission of an Anti-Chistian Text in Late Antiquity
by Dr Ariane Magny, Dr Lewis Ayres, Dr Mark Edwards, Professor Christoph Riedweg
Digital, Published 2014 by Ashgate Publishing Limited
ISBN-13: 978-1-4094-4116-8, ISBN: 1-4094-4116-4

"The Greek philosopher Porphyry of Tyre had a reputation as the fiercest critic of Christianity. It was well-deserved: he composed (at the end the 3rd century A.D.) fifteen discourses against the Christians, so offensive that Christian emperors ordered them to be burnt. We thus rely on the testimonies of three prominent Christian writers to know what Porphyry wrote. Scholars have long thought that we could rely on those testimonies to kn ..."

Individuality in Late Antiquity
by Dr Alexis Torrance, Dr Johannes Zachhuber, Dr Lewis Ayres, Dr Mark Edwards, Professor Christoph Riedweg
Digital, 204 Pages, Published 2014 by Ashgate Publishing Limited
ISBN-13: 978-1-4724-0052-9, ISBN: 1-4724-0052-6

"Late antiquity is increasingly recognised as a period of important cultural transformation. One of its crucial aspects is the emergence of a new awareness of human individuality. In this book an interdisciplinary and international group of scholars documents and analyses this development. Authors assess the influence of seminal thinkers, including the Gnostics, Plotinus, and Augustine, but also of cultural and religious practices such a ..."

Evagrius and Gregory : Mind Soul and Body in the 4th Century
by Professor Kevin Corrigan, Dr Lewis Ayres, Dr Mark Edwards, Professor Christoph Riedweg
Digital, 256 Pages, Published 2013 by Ashgate Publishing Limited
ISBN-13: 978-1-4094-7829-4, ISBN: 1-4094-7829-7

"Evagrius of Pontus and Gregory of Nyssa have either been overlooked by philosophers and theologians in modern times, or overshadowed by their prominent friend and brother (respectively), Gregory Nazianzus and Basil the Great. Yet they are major figures in the development of Christian thought in late antiquity and their works express a unique combination of desert and urban spiritualities in the lived and somewhat turbulent experience of ..."






Image, Word and God in the Early Christian Centuries(1st Edition)
(Studies in Philosophy and Theology in Late Antiquity)
by Dr. Mark Edwards, Mark J. Edwards
Paperback, 228 Pages, Published 2013 by Routledge
ISBN-13: 978-1-4094-0671-6, ISBN: 1-4094-0671-7

"Christianity proclaims Christ and the incarnate word of God; the Bible is described as the Word of God in both Jewish and Christian tradition. Are these usages merely homonymous, or would the ancients have recognized a more intimate relation between the word incarnate and the word proclaimed? This book investigates the concept of logos in pagan, Jewish and Christian thought, with a view to elucidating the polyphonic functions which the ..."

Dionysius the Areopagite and the Neoplatonist Tradition(Updated)
Despoiling the Hellenes
by Professor John Dillon, Sarah Klitenic Wear, Dr Lewis Ayres, Dr Mark Edwards, Professor Christoph Riedweg
Digital, 152 Pages, Published 2013 by Ashgate Publishing Limited
ISBN-13: 978-1-4094-7753-2, ISBN: 1-4094-7753-3

"'Dionysius the Areopagite' is arguably one of the most mysterious and intriguing figures to emerge from the late antique world. Writing probably around 500 CE, and possibly connected with the circle of Severus of Antioch, Dionysius manipulates a Platonic metaphysics to describe a hierarchical universe: as with the Hellenic Platonists, he arranges the celestial and material cosmos into a series of triadic strata. These strata emanate fro ..."

The Spirit of Augustine's Early Theology : Contextualizing Augustine's Pneumatology
by Dr Lewis Ayres, Dr Mark Edwards, Professor Christoph Riedweg
Digital, 234 Pages, Published 2013 by Ashgate Publishing Limited
ISBN-13: 978-1-4094-8175-1, ISBN: 1-4094-8175-1

"St Augustine's pneumatology remains one of his most distinctive, decisive, and ultimately divisive contributions to the story of Christian thought. How did his understanding of the Spirit develop? Why does he identity the Spirit with divine love and cosmic order? And from what personal and literary sources did he receive inspiration? This examination of Augustine's pneumatology - the first book-length study of this important topic avail ..."

Clothed in the Body : Asceticism the Body and the Spiritual in the Late Antique Era
by Dr Hannah Hunt, Dr Lewis Ayres, Dr Mark Edwards, Professor Christoph Riedweg
Digital, Published 2012 by Ashgate Publishing Limited
ISBN-13: 978-1-4094-0915-1, ISBN: 1-4094-0915-5

"Hunt examines the apparent paradox that Jesus' earthly existence and post resurrection appearances are experienced through consummately physical actions and attributes yet some ascetics within the Christian tradition appear to seek to deny the value of the human body, to find it deadening of spiritual life. Hunt considers why the Christian tradition as a whole has rarely managed more than an uneasy truce between the physical and the spi ..."

Silent Truth
by Dr Mark Edwards
Paperback, 238 Pages, Published 2011 by Xlibris, Corp.
ISBN-13: 978-1-4415-8005-4, ISBN: 1-4415-8005-0

"Are you fed up and are not going to take it anymore? Alright, read this book. Strong positive convictions have fallen out of favor, being replaced by expedient pop morality pieces that warp reality. Bluntly worded unpopular opinions critical of minorities, affirmative action, Israel, immigration, bi-lingualism and the current chief executive in Washington D.C. find their way into the trash bin. Immigration is the overwhelming emphasis o ..."






Catholicity and Heresy in the Early Church(1st Edition)

Paperback, 208 Pages, Published 2009 by Routledge
ISBN-13: 978-0-7546-6297-6, ISBN: 0-7546-6297-7

"While it has often been recognised that the development of Christian orthodoxy was stimulated by the speculations of those who are now called heretics, it is still widely assumed that their contribution was merely catalytic, that they called forth the exposition of what the main church already believed but had not yet been required to formulate. This book maintains that scholars have underrated the constructive role of these "heretic ..."

208 Pages, Published 2009 by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.
ISBN-13: 978-1-4094-7832-4, ISBN: 1-4094-7832-7

"This could be an etiolated version of the doctrine that is more faithfully transmitted in Clement's Excerpts; for Hippolytus, a western author, Theodotus is of less interest in himself than as a symbol of one extreme to which false Christologies lead their patrons. The other is represented by Noetus, who acknowledged no distinction of divine persons, and therefore put the Father on the Cross ( Refutation 9.10.11-12). Hippolytus accu ..."
