[Zeta Books]

Dear readers,

A new title in our series Late Antique and Byzantine Studies is now available:

A Patriarch in Exile: Severus of Antioch and His Pastoral Strategy (518–538)

David-Gabriel CARPEN
Foreword by Andrei TIMOTIN

ISBN: 978-606-697-199-7 (paperback)
ISBN: 978-606-697-200-0 (electronic)

This book offers a reassessment of Severus of Antioch, one of the most influential and controversial figures of late antique Christianity. Deposed from the patriarchal see of Antioch in 518 and forced into exile until his death in 538, Severus nevertheless continued to guide the non-Chalcedonian communities of the Eastern Mediterranean through an extensive pastoral, theological, and ecclesial activity.

Drawing on letters, homilies, theological treatises, and historical sources, David-Gabriel Carpen reconstructs Severus’ pastoral strategy in exile and examines the ways in which ecclesial authority, doctrinal rigor, and institutional resilience were maintained under conditions of political and religious pressure.

The volume addresses key themes such as:

late antique Christianity · Severus of Antioch · non-Chalcedonian Churches · ecclesial leadership · Byzantine theology
