Symbolic Blackness and Ethnic Difference in Early Christian Literature - BLACKENED BY THEIR SINS: Early Christian Ethno-Political Rhetorics about Egyptians, Ethiopians, Blacks and Blackness (Paperback, New)

There has been growing interest in recent years in the presence and image of blacks and blackness in classical antiquity. However this pioneering and much needed work is the first to survey and theorise the black as seen by early Christian writers.
Byron creates a solid and original foundation of theoretical arguments as the basis for her discussion of the presence of blacks in Christian antiquity. Her presentation of the critical analysis and sources side by side encourages the reader to engage with the material in a more sophisticated way.
Ground breaking in both content and approach, this study will appeal to a wide range of disciplines, including biblical studies, classical studies, African American studies, gender and cultural studies.
