The editors' goal was to study rhetoric in order to better understand religious identity and vice-versa, and the volume succeeds on both counts. * Jaclyn Maxwell, Bryn Mawr Classical Review * In many cases, the essays break down dichotomies and remind us to be careful when trying to fit people or texts into particular categories of religious identity. The editors' goal was to study rhetoric in order to better understand religious identity and vice-versa, and the volume succeeds on both counts. * Jaclyn Maxwell, Bryn Mawr Classical Review * The strongest essays of this collection are those that work with a clear set of definitions and methods.

Quiroga Puertas, GNOMON 95 * Author InformationProf Richard Flower studied for his BA, MPhil and PhD in Classics at Clare College, Cambridge, and has worked at the Universities of Cambridge, Sheffield and Exeter. He specialises in the construction of imperial and ecclesiastical authority, particularly in late-antique polemical literature and heresiology. His publications include Emperors and Bishops in Late Roman Invective (Cambridge, 2013) and Imperial Invectives against Constantius II (Liverpool, 2016), and he is also editing The Cambridge Companion to Christian Heresy. Prof Morwenna Ludlow studied Classics and then Theology at the University of Oxford. She has written widely on Gregory of Nyssa. Her latest book, Art, Craft and Theology in Fourth Century Greek Authors (also published by OUP) examines the use of literary and rhetorical tropes by Christian authors and argues that they interpret themselves as both theologians and craftsmen with words.
