Additional Information

Julian of Aeclanum (~380-455) is one of the most interesting figures in fourth/fifth century Latin Christianity. He was related to some of the most influential people in the western church and, as a bishop, acquired fame for his charity and learning. In 418 he was deposed for refusing to endorse the condemnation of Pelagius and Caelestius. In a series of writings, mostly directed against Augustine, he justified this step and clarified his stance. He also rallied political support, not just in Italy, but also in the east.

This book tells the story of his life and discusses questions related to his literary pursuits, philosophy, Biblical exegesis and church political activities.

It thus throws light not only on Julian as an individual, but on the history and culture of his age.
