Studies of religious interaction in the fourth century AD have
often assumed that the categories of 'pagan', 'Christian' and 'Jew'
can be straightforwardly applied, and that we can assess the extent
of Christianization in the Graeco-Roman period. In contrast, in
this 2007 text, Dr Sandwell tackles the fundamental question of
attitudes to religious identity by exploring how the Christian
preacher John Chrysostom and the Graeco-Roman orator Libanius wrote
about and understood issues of religious allegiance. By comparing
the approaches of these men, who were living and working in Antioch
at approximately the same time, she strives to get inside the
process of religious interaction in a way not normally possible due
to the dominance of Christian sources. In so doing she develops
approaches to the study of Libanius' religion, the impact of John
Chrysostom's preaching on his audiences and the importance of
religious identity to fourth-century individuals.
