Eusebios, Porphyrios Und Augustin Im Kampf Um Deutungshoheit

Platonism and Christianity perceived each other as a threat in late antiquity. Through reflection and polemics, they each attempted to establish their own sovereignty of interpretation and to invalidate the orientation promised by the other order. In their essays, the contributors of this volume focus on the influential Platonist Porphyrios and his fight against the Christian authors Eusebios of Caesarea and Augustine of Hippo.
