Preaching as Communication of Education in Late Antique Christianity (C04)

宗教言论过去是（现在也是）发展和稳定基督徒身份的基础。通过仔细研究精选的布道集（彼得·克里索洛斯，阿尔勒的凯撒利乌斯），该子项目调查了晚期古代基督教宗教演讲是否a)使用了教育，即修辞（形式方面），b)传达了教育（物质方面），以及c)在形式、内容和机构方面将这一过程理论化（说教方面）。这种对布道中教育的目的和交流方式的研究，将为古代晚期的宗教演讲的蓬勃发展提供新的视角。

Religious speech was (and is) foundational to the development and stabilization of Christian identity. By scrutinizing selected collections of sermons (Peter Chrysologus, Caesarius of Arles), the subproject investigates whether late antique Christian religious speech a) employed education, that is, rhetoric (formal aspect), b) communicated education (material aspect) and c) theorized this process with regard to form, content, and agency (didactic aspect). This approach to aims and means of communication of education in sermons will shed new light on Late Antiquity which witnessed a remarkable flourishing of religious speech.
