This collection explores how the body became a touchstone for late
antique religious practice and imagination. When we read the
stories and testimonies of late ancient Christians, what different
types of bodies stand before us? How do we understand the range of
bodily experiences-solitary and social, private and public-that
clothed ancient Christians? How can bodily experience help us
explore matters of gender, religious identity, class, and
ethnicity? The Garb of Being investigates these questions through
stories from the Eastern Christian world of antiquity: monks and
martyrs, families and congregations, and textual bodies.
