In Pagans and Christians in Late Antiquity, A.D. Lee documents the
transformation of the religious landscape of the Roman world from
one of enormous diversity of religious practices and creeds in the
3rd century to a situation where, by the 6th century, Christianity
had become the dominant religious force. Using translated extracts
from contemporary sources he examines the fortunes of pagans and
Christians from the upheavals of the 3rd Century, through the
dramatic events associated with the emperors Constantine, Julian
and Theodosius in the 4th, to the increasingly tumultuous times of
the 5th and 6th centuries, while also illustrating important themes
in late antique Christianity such as the growth of monasticism, the
emerging power of bishops and the development of pilgrimage, as
well as the fate of other significant religious groups including
Jews and Manichaeans. This new edition has been updated to include:
additional documentary material, including newly published papyri
an expanded chapter on the emperor Constantine greater attention to
church controversies in the fourth and fifth centuries thoroughly
updated references and further reading, taking into account
developments in modern scholarship during the past fifteen years.
Pagans and Christians in Late Antiquity is an invaluable resource
for students of the late antique world, and of early Christianity
and the early Church.
