- A Study in Late Antique Spiritual Literature

About Truthfulness, Realism, Historicity

Were holy men historical figures or figments of the theological imagination? Did the biographies devoted to them reflect facts or only the ideological commitments of their authors? The author suggests a new approach to these problems through an examination of a range of spiritual narrative texts from the third to the sixth centuries AD.
