Emanuel Fiano is assistant professor of Syriac studies in the Theology Department at Fordham University. He lives in New York City.
A groundbreaking study on the intellectual and cultural history of early Christianity, this book will serve as a new starting point for any study on the subject of the parting or never-parting of the ways. -Brouria Bitton-Ashkelony, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem In this thrilling book, Fiano's arguments re-place the development of Christianity and its practice of establishing separation from something they call 'Judaism' in the very invention of theology as an intellectual discipline. This argument requires the Talmud skills of a Yeshiva student and the patristic knowledge of a monk. Fiano has both. -Daniel Boyarin, author of The No-State Solution: A Jewish Manifesto This learned and adventurous book breathes new life into the Christian controversies of late antiquity. It shows how Jews and Christians created a dynamic view of intellectual endeavor itself, as they each, in their different way, struggled to tease out the mystery of their shared God. -Peter Brown, author of Through the Eye of a Needle: Wealth, the Fall of Rome, and the Making of Christianity in the West, 350-550 AD A significant contribution to the new intellectual history of late antiquity, at once generous and provocative. Fiano's sociological framing of the issues gives his readings real traction. -Mark Vessey, editor of A Companion to Augustine
