Macarius, Apocriticus
A new English translation of 'The Apocriticus of Macarius', with notes and introductory essays. This text purports to be the record of a debate between a pagan philosopher, and Macarius, a Christian rhetor, and is a rich, but neglected, source for the history of intellectual and cultural conflict between Christian and Hellene intellectuals

It argues that these narratives functioned as a means for Christian scholars and pag…
Porphyry on Christians and Others
This paper argues that we can better appreciate the motivations behind Porphyry of Tyre's anti-Christian polemics if they are placed in the context of his larger philosophical project. Porphyry's investigations of "foreign" religions and philosophies were based on asymmetrical distinctions between Greeks and barbarians that paralleled, and in many cases dovetailed with, the division of the Roman Empire into metropolitan center and provincial peri…
