Document Details : Title: Weaving the Pilgrim's Crown Subtitle: John Rufus's View of Peter the Iberian's Journeys in Late Antique Palestine Author(s): HORN, Cornelia B. Journal: Journal of Eastern Christian Studies Volume: 56 Issue: 1-4 Date: 2004 Pages: 171-190 DOI: 10.2143/JECS.56.1.578701 Abstract : Martyrdom and pilgrimage were central experiences in the lives of early Christians. Those two elements seem closely interwoven in the career of Peter the Iberian, the influential fifth-century anti-Chalcedonian monk and bishop of Maiuma, Gaza. Their connectedness in Peter's life is an important key for understanding how anti-Chalcedonians interpreted their experiences of being a repressed minority in Palestine in the fifth and early sixth centuries A.D. |
