Reviews

<br> Philip Wood's book is a remarkable debut. It is broad in focus, sparing in its use of footnotes, and stimulating in the picture it presents of the Roman East in the fifth and sixth centuries. --Bryn Mawr Classical Review<p><br>


Philip Woods's book is a remarkable debut... a well-structured and convincingly argued work * Bryn Mawr Classical Review * Things are often more complicated than they may seem, and this is certainly also true for the phenomenon Wood has been studying in such a brilliant way. * Joseph Verheyden, Journal of Eastern Christian Studies *
