Limberis, Vasiliki M.
82,28 €(IVA inc.)
Vasiliki Limberis has discovered a hitherto untold element in the history of the Cappadocian Fathers (Basil of Caesarea, his brother Gregory of Nyssa, and their friend Gregory of Nazianzus). Simply stated, for the Cappadocians all aspects of Christian life were best communicated, understood, and indeed lived, through the prism of martyr piety. Limberis shows that the cult of the martyrswas absolutely central to the formation of Christian life for them and the laity. INDICE: Abbreviations; List of Illustrations; Introduction; 1.
