Reviews

""Kahlos offers a valuable survey of trends in recent historical scholarship that should force serious reflection on the terms and categories employed in the study of late antique religion."" -- Brian Dunkle, Church History Reviews ""Kahlos offers a multifaceted gem. Current scholarship and methods, standing historiographical problems, and refractory sources, assembled in her argument, are all mutually illumined."" -- Review of Biblical Literature ""Religious Dissent in Late Antiquity is a welcome addition to the scholarship on late antique Christianity. This work laudably zeros in on many of the bigger issues at play in the ongoing debates concerning 'Christianisation' and boils them down into concise, informed discussions. This monograph will therefore be particularly useful for the purposes of university-level education, where many chapters would be ideal for undergraduate reading."" -- Michael Wuk, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
