This book explores the construction of Christian identity in fourth
and fifth centuries through inventing, fabricating and sharpening
binary oppositions. Binary oppositions, such as Christians -
pagans; truth - falsehood; the one true god - the multitude of
demons; the right religion - superstition, served to create and
reinforce the Christian self-identity. The book examines how the
Christian argumentation against pagans was intertwined with
self-perception and self-affirmation. Discussing the relations and
interaction between pagan and Christian cultures, this book aims at
widening historical understanding of the cultural conflicts and the
otherness in world history and thus, to contribute to the ongoing
discussion about the historical and conceptual basis of cultural
tolerance and intolerance. This book offers a valuable contribution
to contemporary scholarly debate about Late Antique religious
history and the relationship between Christianity and other
religions.
