Reviews
In sum, this monograph convincingly demonstrates how the craft of rhetoric was used in a meaningful way in the theological discourse of fourth century Christian church leaders. * Olympe De Backer, Augustiniana * Saying that the book is a welcome addition to the field of late antique studies may sound cliche, but it is not often that a book leaves the reader with the impression that a topic that has been repeatedly explored (the study of ekphrasis and prosopopoeia) can be approached from a different perspective and provide a new way of understanding the world of Late Antiquity. * Alberto Jesus Quiroga Puertas, Universidad de Granada,, De Gruyter *
