"Governor of the Poor": The Bishops and Their Cities 3. "Condescension": Poverty and Solidarity in the Eastern Empire Notes Index Index of Authors In three magisterial essays, one of the world's foremost scholars of the society and culture of late antiquity explores the emergence in late Roman society of "the poor" as a distinct social class, one for which the Christian church claimed a special responsibility. It is the story of how a society came to see itself as responsible for the care of a particular class of people—a class that had not previously been cared for —and of who benefited from that shift in interests. In his characteristically elegant and lucid prose, Peter Brown seeks to recover the pre-Christian status of poor people, the actual nature of the relations between the Christian church and the poor, and the true motivations—sometimes sincere, sometimes self-serving—behind Christian rhetoric of love for the poor. He draws not only on the standard Greek and Latin sources for the later Roman Empire, but also on Jewish sources to document the interactions between Middle Eastern provincial societies and classical Roman traditions. Brown gracefully illuminates a crucial transition from classical to Christian culture: the emergence of a new understanding of what society—and the Church—owe to the , DE, [SC: 4.50], gebraucht; sehr gut, gewerbliches Angebot, [GW: 238g], Banküberweisung, Offene Rechnung, PayPal, Internationaler Versand<

The Persian Capture of Jerusalem Heraclius' Gift to Islam The Death of the Persian Empire Notes I Index I In this book, based on lectures delivered at the Historical Society of Israel, the famed historian G. W. Bowersock presents a searching examination of political developments in the Arabian Peninsuhi on the eve of the rise of Islam. Recounting the growth of Christian Ethiopia and the conflict with Jewish Arabia, he describes the fall of Jerusalem at the hands of a late resurgent Sassanian (Persian) Empire. He concludes by underscoring the importance of the Byzantine Empire's defeat of the Sassanian forces, which destabilized the region and thus provided the opportunity for the rise and military success of Islam in the seventh century. Using close readings of surviving texts, Bowersock sheds new light on the complex causal relationships among the Byzantine, Ethiopian, Persian, and emerging Islamic forces. G. W. Bowersock is professor emeritus of ancient history at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton. His most recent book is From Gibbon to Auden: Essays on the Classical Tradition.
