Reviews

Scholars of early Christianity and of Christian theology more generally will find this fascinating reading. . . . Highly recommended. * CHOICE * A thoughtful and scholarly volume that has much to offer to anyone interested in either the Arian controversy itself or the wider subject of episcopal authority in late antiquity. * Bryn Mawr Classical Review * Cogently argued. * Louvain Studies * A fascinating and innovative study . . . Galvao-Sobrinho succeeds. * Classical Journal * This book is a learned, thoroughly researched, and original study of some less acknowledged non-theological aspects of the Arian controversies from the time of Emperor Constantine's conquest of the East to the death of Constantius II. * American Historical Review *
