This volume examines the inter-religious conflicts of the 4 ^th and 5 ^th centuries starting with Contra Iulianum, the reply by Patriarch Cyril of Alexandria to the anti-Christian screed Contra Galilaeos written by Rome's last pagan emperor Julian. One focus is to situate these two works in their contemporary contexts, but chapters on their transmission and reception also explore their afterlife.
