Un certain nombre d'intellectuels païens de l'Antiquité tardive (IVe et Ve siècles) avaient entrepris une guerre à mots couverts contre la pensée chrétienne en train de s’installer. Cet ouvrage redessine les contours des relations polémiques entre les païens et les chrétiens sous le règne de Théodose (379-395). Au cœur de ce jeu antagoniste se place la figure complexe et polymorphe de Nicomaque Flavien senior. Les chrétiens en avaient fait l’un de leurs adversaires privilégiés. Placé par ses fonctions officielles auprès de Théodose au centre du système judiciaire, il fut un juriste avisé, rédacteur de lois pour le Prince mais aussi habile propagandiste, dans l’Histoire Auguste, de thèmes idéologiquement très proches des positions de l’aristocratie païenne, par exemple en matière de morale sexuelle ou de gestion des patrimoines. L’analyse de documents méconnus permet également de penser que l’homme fut un adepte du néoplatonisme, ce qui n’avait jamais été établi jusque-là. La crainte de la répression policière l’a conduit à crypter son message politique et religieux en recourant de manière systématique aux ressources inépuisables de l’art de la fiction. L’auteur propose au fond une analyse originale de ce qu’il appelle « le malaise païen », fondée sur le constat que les païens comme les chrétiens privilégiaient dans l’expression et la défense de leurs convictions religieuses des formes littéraires élaborées. Fiction et religion constituent ainsi deux thématiques communes à tous les intellectuels de l’époque et elles ne sauraient être dissociées dans l’approche d’une période aussi riche.

The fourth century was a major religious battleground. The rise of Christianity, and in particular its dominance from Constantine onwards, marked an important shift in the religious history of the Mediterranean. Christianity saw this change as the victory of its monotheism over the polytheism of paganism. This volume studies how similarities between paganism and Christianity were obscured in the polemic that was waged by Christianity against paganism and in the pagan responses to it. The volume includes papers on Porphyry, Augustine, Themistius, Latin verse inscriptions, as well as dealing with the different ways in which Christian and pagan thinkers conceived of monotheism. A recurring theme in the papers shows that a concrete religions issue lay at the heart of such polemic: who can worship?

In Early Christians Adapting to the Roman Empire: Mutual Recognition Niko Huttunen challenges the interpretation of early Christian texts as anti-imperial documents. He presents examples of the positive relationship between early Christians and the Roman society. With the concept of "recognition" Huttunen describes a situation in which the parties can come to terms with each other without full agreement. Huttunen provides examples of non-Christian philosophers recognizing early Christians. He claims that recognition was a response to Christians who presented themselves as philosophers. Huttunen reads Romans 13 as a part of the ancient tradition of the law of the stronger. His pioneering study on early Christian soldiers uncovers the practical dimension of recognizing the empire.
