With the Empire's elite directly before him, Peter also had the problems of 5th century Monophysitism behind him. As such, his homilies stress the incarnate Christ's ability to change lives by reuniting mortal humans with their life-giving God. The thorough introduction explores the figure of Peter, beginning with the obscure biographies telling of his early life, to his becoming Metropolitan of Ravenna, situating his elevation in the wider socio-political context of the powerful court of Valentinian III and the 5th century Roman West. It also looks at the significant influence his legacy had on future generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranslated into a modern idiom, this collection of sermons makes the preaching and pastoral wisdom of this key figure accessible to modern readers. It is an invaluable tool for anyone working on early Christian theology and the Early Church, as well as students of Late Antiquity and the Western Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid Vincent Meconi, S.J\u003c\/strong\u003e. holds the Pontifical License in Patrology (\u003ci\u003eLiz\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eTheol\u003c\/i\u003e.) from the University of Innsbruck as well as the D.Phil. in Ecclesiastical History from the University of Oxford.
