The Narrative Conflict of Traditions in the Late Antique World
The Narrative Conflict of Traditions in the Late Antique World
Cyril versus Julian
Von:Boswell, Brad
Drawing from philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre, this book explores how Against the Galileans by Roman Emperor Julian 'the Apostate' (d.363) and Against Julian by bishop Cyril of Alexandria (d.444) were an exercise in "narrative conflict" whose aim was to demonstrate the superior explanatory power of their respective traditions' narrative.
