The present work offers a comprehensive analysis of Christian dialogues in Greek and in Syriac from the earliest examples in the second century up to the end of the sixth century. It shows that several Christian authors chose the dialogue form to convey fundamental theological views, and argues that dialogues were intended as tools of opinion formation in late antique society, thus opening up this vast strand of literature to the interests of the cultural and intellectual historians. 000858991 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from home page (viewed on February 15, 2019). 000858991 650_0 $$aChristian literature, Early$$xHistory and criticism. 000858991 650_0 $$aDialogue$$xReligious aspects$$xChristianity. 000858991 650_0 $$aChurch history$$yPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600. 000858991 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9780190915452 000858991 830_0 $$aOxford studies in late antiquity. 000858991 830_0 $$aOxford scholarship online. 000858991 85280 $$bebk$$hOxford Scholarship Online 000858991 85640 $$3Oxford scholarship online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190915452.001.0001$$zOnline Access 000858991 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:858991$$pGLOBAL_SET 000858991 980__ $$aBIB 000858991 983__ $$aOnline
