metadata.value: The article examines the evolution of Western patristics from Augustine to Gregory the Great
  and Isidore of Seville in a dual aspect: the power of discourse and the discourse of power.
  The former draws on truth, the “place” of which, according to Aristotle, is in judgment, while
  the latter represents the policy of truth, pursued by the government. The power of discourse
  in this case is implemented as the spread of Christian education. The discourse of power is
  realized in the form of decisions and legislative acts of the authorities, guided by the Roman
  tradition and adopted in the dominating atmosphere of transition from раx deorum to
  pax dei. The power of Christian discourse specifically manifests itself in relation to Jews and
  Judaism. The church, meanwhile, is increasingly playing the role of a stable and omnipresent
  institution of education and transfer of agonistic rhetoric. The clergy are becoming new
  “rhetors” (Paula Fredriksen), whose activities bring about a new product of their rhetoric,
  namely, “rhetorical” Jews. However, the discourse of power in the late Antiquity and the early
  Middle Ages determined the legal status of quite real “historical” Jews. The focal point of
  the article is the ongoing debate on the Christian literature “adversus Iudaeos” of the first
  millennium and the “topoi” thereof: the anti-Judaism of its authors takes on a special character
  depending on whether it is dictated by the power of discourse (the Christian Word) or
  actually is the discourse of power. When acting as preachers and mentors in Christian faith,
  Augustine, Gregory the Great and Isidore of Seville would theologize, extensively resorting to
  anti-Judaism rhetoric (anti-Judaism without Jews), whereas in their administrative practices
  they have to deal with real-life Jews, which compels them to conform their wording with the
  concrete situation and the priorities of the Church policy.
