Holy men, both pagan and Christian are persistent and puzzling
figures in the religious life of the Roman Empire. In this first
historical study of Holy Men for more than half a century, Dr
Anderson applies techniques of literary analysis to throw light on
the lifestyles and behaviour of these figures, from Jesus Christ to
Peregrinus Proteus to dio Chrysostom, stressing their individuality
as much as their common features.
Sage, Saint and Sophist examines the variety of services, real or
imaginary, that these colouful figures had to offer and how they
maintained their credibility to become the objects of successful
religious cults.
