Summary: "Methodius of Olympus (died ca. 311 CE) is regarded as a key author in 3rd-century Christian theology. In recent years, his works have become objects of intense research interest on the part of Church historians, classical Greek and Paleoslavic philologists, and scholars of Armenian studies. The essays in this volume examine the current state of research, enhance our understanding of Methodius with valuable new information, and open up new research perspectives."-- Provided by publisher
