This ground breaking study brings into dialogue for the first time
the writings of Julian, the last non-Christian Roman Emperor, and
his most outspoken critic, Bishop Gregory of Nazianzus, a central
figure of Christianity. Susanna Elm compares these two men not to
draw out the obvious contrast between the Church and the Emperor's
neo-Paganism, but rather to find their common intellectual and
social grounding. Her insightful analysis, supplemented by her
magisterial command of sources, demonstrates the ways in which both
men were part of the same dialectical whole. Elm recasts both
Julian and Gregory as men entirely of their times, showing how the
Roman Empire in fact provided Christianity with the ideological and
social matrix without which its longevity and dynamism would have
been inconceivable.
