- The book is the culmination of a project that began in 2011. It investigates, in an exhaustive way, the emergence and development of a new literary genre, the Christian prose dialogue, over a period of five centuries. It relies on the comprehensive analysis of all surviving dialogues (more than 60 ancient texts – each one of them presenting specific issues of transmission and interpretation); it engages with two major literary and cultural contexts (the Greek and the Syriac) as well as with a complex set of established academic fields (ancient rhetorical education, religious debate, Late-Antique literature, Christian theology, Judeo-Christian studies).
