Description: Cornelia Horn examines and reconstructs the anti-Chalcedonian movement in Palestine on the basis of one of its most important witnesses: the fifth-century 'Life of Peter the Iberian' by John Rufus. She uses textual and archaeological data to trace the development of theological ideas and their connection with asceticism.
