{"product_id":"9781107606678","title":"Selected Discourses of Shenoute the Great : Community, Theology, and Social Conflict in Late Antique Egypt","description":"\u003cp\u003eShenoute the Great (c.347-465) led one of the largest Christian monastic communities in late antique Egypt and was the greatest native writer of Coptic in history. For approximately eight decades, Shenoute led a federation of three monasteries and emerged as a Christian leader. His public sermons attracted crowds of clergy, monks, and lay people; he advised military and government officials; he worked to ensure that his followers would be faithful to orthodox Christian teaching; and he vigorously and violently opposed paganism and the oppressive treatment of the poor by the rich. This volume presents in translation a selection of his sermons and other orations. These works grant us access to the theology, rhetoric, moral teachings, spirituality, and social agenda of a powerful Christian leader during a period of great religious and social change in the later Roman Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52302861238583,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":238.39,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9781107606678-1.jpg?v=1783151015","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9781107606678","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
