Drawing on little-used sources in Syriac, once the lingua franca of
the Middle East, Philip Wood examines how, at the close of the
Roman Empire, Christianity carried with it new foundation myths for
the peoples of the Near East that transformed their self-identity
and their relationships with their rulers. This cultural
independence was followed by a more radical political philosophy
that dared to criticize the emperor and laid the seeds for the
blending of religious and ethnic identity that we see in the Middle
East today.
