The Christian and The Supernatural in Late Antiquity
Published by Trivent Publishing, this 12 chapter volume explores a variety of subjects ranging from the second to the eighth centuries CE, and engages with how Late Antique Christians regarded the supernatural (for example demons, angels, miracles and magic). For a Late Antique Christian, engaging with the supernatural was often a matter of wrestling with elements of an inherited cultural capital of their society's thoroughly non-Christian past, but also forging ahead with new means of considering reality in line with their faith's balance between the natural and supernatural.
Living in a era of such transition from earlier accepted conceptions of knowledge, there were varied responses as to how best to orient the supernatural to make sense of the natural world within which they lived.
This volume sets out to shed further light on the constantly shifting nature of such ideas, and their impacts upon Christians of the Late Antique period.
