Epiphanius, Bishop of Constantia on Cyprus from 367 to 403 C.E.,
was incredibly influential in the last decades of the fourth
century. Whereas his major surviving text (the Panarion, an
encyclopedia of heresies) is studied for lost sources, Epiphanius
himself is often dismissed as an anti-intellectual eccentric, a
marginal figure of late antiquity. In this book, Andrew Jacobs
moves Epiphanius from the margin back toward the center and
proposes we view major cultural themes of late antiquity in a new
light altogether. Through an examination of the key cultural
concepts of celebrity, conversion, discipline, scripture, and
salvation, Jacobs shifts our understanding of "late antiquity" from
a transformational period open to new ideas and peoples toward a
Christian Empire that posited a troubling, but ever-present,
"otherness" at the center of its cultural production.
