Roman Defeat, Christian Response, and the Literary Construction of the Jew / / David M. Olster.
Olster explores Byzantine Christian reactions to the catastrophic Persian and Arab invasions, challenging long-held assumptions that divided "religious" from "secular" literature and exempted religion from contemporary social, political, and intellectual discourse.
