This study offers an in-depth examination of Porphyrian soteriology, or the concept of the salvation of the soul, in the thought of Porphyry of Tyre, whose significance for late antique thought is immense. Porphyry's concept of salvation is important for an understanding of those cataclysmic forces, not always theological, that helped convert the Roman Empire from paganism to Christianity. Porphyry, a disciple of Plotinus, was the last and greatest anti-Christian writer to vehemently attack the Church before the Constantinian revolution. His contribution to the pagan-Christian debate on universalism can thus shed light on the failure of paganism and the triumph of Christianity in late antiquity. In a broader historical and cultural context this study will address some of the issues central to the debate on universalism, in which Porphyry was passionately involved and which was becoming increasingly significant during the unprecedented series of economic, cultural, political, and military crises of the third century. As the author will argue, Porphyry may have failed to find one way of salvation for all humanity, he nonetheless arrived a hierarchical soteriology, something natural for a Neoplatonist, which resulted in an integrative religious and philosophical system. His system is examined in the context of other developing ideologies of universalism, during a period of unprecedented imperial crises, which were used by the emperors as an agent of political and religious unification. Christianity finally triumphed over its competitors owing to its being perceived to be the only universal salvation cult that was capable of bringing about this unification. In short, it won due to its unique universalist soteriology. By examining a rival to Christianity's concept of universal salvation, this book will be valuable to students and scholars of ancient philosophy, patristics, church history, and late antiquity.Review: "Simmons demonstrates command of sources in Greek, Latin and Syriac...for those interested in Porphyry's response to Christianity, this will likely be the volume of choice for some considerable time."

Cette étude de la théurgie « des Oracles Chaldaïques à Proclus » commence en fait par une analyse du De Mysteriis de Jamblique. L’A. y souligne l’originalité de la démarche de Jamblique qui présente le rite païen, dans ses trois actes constitutifs (sacrifice, prière, mantique), dans un statut nouveau, celui de la théurgie. L’acte rituel est désormais un symbolisme actif dont le but ultime vise à l’union mystique. Les concepts sur lesquels se fonde Jamblique sont issus des Oracles Chaldaïques et remaniés : ils font l’objet d’un deuxième chapitre, consacré par ailleurs à Porphyre, dont le rôle dans la transmission des Oracles et de la théurgie dans le milieu néoplatonicien est envisagé d'un point de vue philologique. Enfin, dans la troisième partie de l’ouvrage, l’A. s’attache à mettre en lumière l’impact de Jamblique sur sa postérité, à travers deux penseurs, l’Empereur Julien et Proclus. Ces trois chapitres sont traversés par deux axes qui en assurent la cohésion. Le premier tient en une réhabilitation de la théurgie, trop souvent considérée comme une forme de magie ; le deuxième présente la théurgie comme un instrument de la récupération philosophique et politique du paganisme.

A hundred years after Adolf von Harnack’s first edition of Porphyry’s Contra Christianos (1916) this work presents a new collection of the fragments and testimonia with an introduction, a German translation and notes. It is the first German translation of and commentary on Contra Christianos. All texts are newly arranged. For the first time ever, texts which cannot be securely attributed to Porphyry (dubia) are presented in a separate section. Die Sammlung, Selektion und Anordnung der Fragmente und Testimonien der porphyrianischen Schrift Gegen die Christen (entstanden nach 270/271 n.Chr.) gestaltet sich seit über 100 Jahren schwierig: Nicht alle Texte, die Adolf von Harnack (1916) und andere dieser Schrift zugeordnet haben, können Porphyrios sicher zugewiesen werden. Die vorliegende neue Sammlung bietet nicht nur einen aktualisierten Bestand von 132 Texten, welcher die neuesten Forschungsergebnisse aufgreift, sondern auch eine Textzusammenstellung, die erstmals zwischen authentischen Fragmenten und Testimonien einerseits und Dubia andererseits unterscheidet. Die Partien des anonymen Hellenen aus dem Apokritikos des Makarios Magnes, welche in alle bisherigen Ausgaben von Contra Christianos aufgenommen wurden, sind aus dem Textbestand ausgeschieden. Durch die deutsche Übersetzung und Erstkommentierung werden die überlieferten Textbruchstücke vollständig erschlossen. Zudem wird Contra Christianos in den größeren Zusammenhang einer Konkurrenz zwischen paganen Platonikern und Christen eingebettet und als Zeugnis einer Bedrohungskommunikation des Porphyrios interpretiert.
