Marriage, Celibacy, and Heresy in Ancient Christianity
Autor
David Hunter
The first major study in English of the Jovinianist controversy. David G. Hunter examines early Christian views on marriage and celibacy and the development of an anti-heretical tradition. Hunter sheds new light on the origins of Christian asceticism, and the formation of 'orthodoxy' and 'heresy' in early Christianity.
