The Roman Empire in John of Ephesus’sChurch History

Abstract

Although time is crucial for historiography, space is another important dimension of historical writing. The kind of space that is relevant to authors and becomes visible in their works depends on their respective contexts and approaches. As regards church historiography, one major issue is the relationship between ecclesiastical and political space, which ideally should coincide, but never does. This becomes even more palpable in works that stem from the periphery of the empire. One case in point is the ecclesiastical history of John of Ephesus.
