In the aftermath of the Council of Chalcedon in 451, miaphysite Christians, often targeted as heretics by the imperial church, confronted periodic violence and persecution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eA Memory of Violence\u003c\/em\u003e, Christine Shepardson reshapes our understanding of late antiquity by centring Syriac Christianity in these complex and politicised doctrinal conflicts.
