Disavowing their traditional portrayal as the progenitors of
medieval Christian dualism, this book recasts the Paulicians as
broadly conventional Christians inspired by the apostle Paul. Using
previously neglected Paulician testimony and a critical reappraisal
of the existing sources, it explains their fleeting regional
prominence via a pluralistic approach to Paulician identity within
the complex socio-religious milieus of Armenia and Asia Minor.
Exploring their history of schism, persecution, and resistance, it
reassesses their relationship with the iconoclast controversy and
the changing fortunes of Byzantine-Islamic warfare, shedding new
light on their obscure but fascinating transformation from
itinerant preachers to militarized insurrectionists.
