Description

Minor creasing along top edge of DJ. ; Middle Ages Series; 203 pages; Demonstrates that writers of the seventh century accounted for the continuing collapse of the Roman Empire by attributing the Christian concepts of sin, punishment, repentance, and restoration to the imperial and historical dimension. Also argues that the flowering of anti-Jewish literature at the time did not reflect Christian-Jewish conflict, but was an attempt to construct a people whose greater misfortune could mitigate their own.
