Abstract / short description:
The research project "Gratia and Fides: Intercultural Exchanges between Greek Christianity and Roman Political Discourse" (GraFiE) explores the cross-cultural exchange between the Latin and Greek churches (4th-6th c.) through the concepts of faith and grace. It examines Latin Christian texts that reinterpret Greek works, focusing on how intellectuals like Ambrose of Milan used translation to shape a Roman Christian identity by blending Roman values with Greek theological findings.
