Theology and Poetry in Early Byzantium examines the kontakia and
thought-world of Romanos the Melodist, the sixth-century
hymnographer whose vibrant and engaging compositions had a
far-reaching influence in the history of Byzantine liturgy. His
compositions bring biblical narratives to life through dialogue,
encourage a level of participation unparalleled in homiletics and
push the boundaries of liturgical expression of theology. This book
provides an original analysis of Romanos' poetry, drawing attention
to the coherence of his theology and the performative nature of his
rhetoric. The main theological themes which emerge encourage the
congregation to enact the life of Christ and anticipate the new
creation: restoration of humanity to God, re-creation in the
incarnation and life of Christ, and liturgical participation and
transformation in that life. By analysing the rhetorical
performance of theology in the kontakia, the book provides new
insights into religious practice in late antiquity.
