Cambridge History of Christianity: Volume 2, Constantine to c.600 Hardback - Hardcover

'The twenty-nine essays in total paint a rich canvas of late antique Christianity in its many facets and illustrate the equally lively and varied engagement of current scholarship with this fascinating period ... The contributors, editors and the Press must be congratulated for a volume to which the scholarly community will come back for many years as a standard reference tool.' Journal of Ecclesiastical History

'... elegant and learned essay ... sweeping and evocative narrative ... The volume more than justifies the historiographical assumption of contingent and variable early medieval "Christianities" rather an unchanging and immutable "Christianity" ...impressive study of conversion ... rewarding ...splendid ... a good and critical survey ... excellent ... sophisticated and thought-provoking ... at once capture[s] the divinity, artfulness, and physical sensuality of texts ... outstanding, expertly and eloquently examining how cults and their saints were capable of "endless reinvention" ... All in all, Early Medieval Christianities, c.600-c.1100 is a worthy volume about Christians and their various "Christianities".' Church History
