Enjoyable for general reader, it will be invaluable for upper-division undergraduate and all levels of graduate courses on patristic theology, the social history of late antiquity, and Christianity and poverty. -- The Journal of Religion Contemporary theologians and contemporary churches need a history of social justice, one that not only illuminates overlooked resources, but also avoids naive anachronisms. Holman has illuminated one key chapter of that history. Her analysis will be of interest not only to patristic scholars but to all interested in the history of ethics. -William Harmless, Church History
