描述
Although it would appear in studies of late antique ecclesiastical authority and power that scholars have covered everything, an important aspect of the urban bishop has long been neglected: his role as demonologist and exorcist. When the emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion of the realm, bishops and priests everywhere struggled  to "Christianize" the urban spaces still dominated by Greco-Roman monuments and festivals. During this period of upheaval, when congregants seemingly attended everything but their own "orthodox" church, many ecclesiastical leaders began simultaneously to promote aggressive and insidious depictions of the demonic. In City of Demons, Dayna S. Kalleres investigates this developing discourse and the church-sponsored rituals that went along with it, showing how shifting ecclesiastical demonologies and evolving practices of exorcism profoundly shaped Christian life in the fourth century.

"City of Demons presents three richly detailed case studies of urban church leaders who are demonologists and active and innovative exorcists in the midst of dangerous, potentially violent religious conflicts dominating their cities. John Chrysostom of Antioch, Cyril of Jerusalem, and Ambrose of Milan have individually been described as exemplary church figures, who Christianize their fourth-century cities in ways that contribute to progress rather than to decline ... In contrast ... this book attends closely to these three leaders' demonological discourses and related ritual descriptions ... City of Demons argues that each leader's actions result in the material transformation (i.e, Christianization) of his respective urban environment."--Introduction, p. 3.
