Описание: The reign of the emperor Constantine (306-337) was as revolutionary for the transformation of Rome`s Mediterranean empire as that of Augustus, the first emperor three centuries earlier. The abandonment of Rome signalled the increasing importance of frontier zones in northern and central Europe and the Middle East.

Описание: The papers in this volume were presented at a Mellon-Sawyer Seminar held at the University of Oxford in 2009-2010, which sought to investigate side by side the two important movements of conversion that frame late antiquity: to Christianity at its start, and to Islam at the other end. Challenging the opposition between the two stereotypes of Islamic conversion as an intrinsically violent process, and Christian conversion as a fundamentally spiritual one, the papers seek to isolate the behaviours and circumstances that made conversion both such a common and such a contested phenomenon. The spread of Buddhism in Asia in broadly the same period serves as an external comparator that was not caught in the net of the Abrahamic religions. The volume is organised around several themes, reflecting the concerns of the initial project with the articulation between norm and practice, the role of authorities and institutions, and the social and individual fluidity on the ground. Debates, discussions, and the expression of norms and principles about conversion conversion are not rare in societies experiencing religious change, and the first section of the book examines some of the main issues brought up by surviving sources. This is followed by three sections examining different aspects of how those principles were - or were not - put into practice: how conversion was handled by the state, how it was continuously redefined by individual ambivalence and cultural fluidity, and how it was enshrined through different forms of institutionalization. Finally, a topographical coda examines the effects of religious change on the iconic holy city of Jerusalem.

Описание: A fundamental reassessment of Christian attitudes towards Muslims during the time of the First Crusade. Offering a more nuanced picture, Nicholas Morton challenges the notion that the crusade was a deliberate attack on the Muslim world, and also considers its impact upon European attitudes towards Islam in the long term.
