Contextualizing Constantine V's radical religious policies: the debate about the intercession of the saints and the 'sleep of the soul' in the Chalcedonian and Nestorian churches
(MANEY PUBLISHING, 2015) Krausmueller, Dirk
This article argues that in the last years of his reign Constantine V came to reject the intercession of saints, despite the fact that the Council of Hieria, which he himself had convened only a decade earlier, had explicitly anathematised those who held such a view. Moreover, it makes the case that the emperor participated in a broad religious discourse that began in the sixth century and continued into the ninth century, both among the Chalcedonians of Byzantium and the Levant and among the Nestorians of the East.

The Flesh Cannot See the Word: 'Nestorianising' Chalcedonians in the Seventh to Ninth Centuries AD
(BRILL ACADEMIC PUBLISHERS, 2013) Krausmueller, Dirk
Towards the end of the eighth century the Nestorian Patriarch Timothy convened a council, which condemned several mystics for having held the belief that Christ's humanity could see his divinity. This article draws attention to a Chalcedonian sermon on the Annunciation whose author shared Patriarch Timothy's views. Through comparison with the Questions and Answers of Pseudo-Athanasius and with Theodore of Stoudios' sermon on the Angels it shows that the author of the sermon on the Annunciation participated in a wider Chalcedonian debate about the ability of human beings to see God and the equally invisible angels and souls. Having presented the evidence it makes the case that as regards this topic the Eastern Christian religious discourse had not yet fragmented along sectarian and political boundaries and that throughout the East Christians were experiencing the same anxieties and responding to them in remarkably similar ways.

Monks Who Are Not Priests Do Not Have the Power to Bind and to Loose: The Debate About Confession in Eleventh- and Twelfth-Century Byzantium
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2016) Krausmueller, Dirk
This article focuses on the question whether or not unordained monks can hear confession and give absolution. It argues that until the tenth century this practice was regarded as unproblematic in Byzantium but that after this date the church began to insist on the strict implementation of canon law, which restricted this role to members of the church hierarchy. Through close reading of the surviving evidence it makes the case that this initiative was successful and that many monastic milieus came to accept the position of the secular church.

On contents and structure of the Panagios Typikon: a contribution to the early history of 'extended' monastic rules
(C H BECKSCHE, 2013) Krausmueller, Dirk
This article focuses on the lost Typikon of the Constantinopolitan monastery of Panagiou, which was composed in the first quarter of the eleventh century by the abbot Anthony, a former disciple of Athanasius the Athonite. The Panagiou Typikon is of crucial importance for a proper understanding of the Middle Byzantine monastic discourse since it is one of the earliest rules promoting a strictly coenobitic agenda. The article has two objectives: it seeks to recover some of the contents of the Panagiou Typikon through identification of textual parallels in a later adaptation, Gregory Pakourianos' Petritzos Typikon, and in Vita A of Athanasius the Athonite by the monk Athanasius of Panagiou; and it offers a partial reconstruction of its structure through comparison with the Typikon of Patriarch Alexius the Studite, which is based on a lost Typilcon for the Stoudios monasterw and with the Evergetis Typikon and its derivatives.
