Pagans and Christians in Late Antiquity. A Sourcebook, 2000, 352 p., 8 dessins, 17 ph., br. -

In this book, the author charts the rise to dominance of Christianity in the Roman Empire. Using translated texts, he explains the fortunes of both Pagans and Christians from the upheavals of the 3rd c. to the increasingly tumultuous times of the 5th and 6th c. The book also examines important themes in Late Antiquity such as the growth of monasticism, the emerging power of bishops and the development of pilgrimage, and looks at the fate of other significant religious groups including the Jews, Zoroastrians and Manichaeans.
