Christianizing Egypt

Angebote / Angebote:

Offering a creative and convincing new picture of Christianity in Egypt in late antiquity, this book will appeal to a wide range of scholars in religion, anthropology, and sociology. Every page testifies to David Frankfurter's deep knowledge of an exceptionally wide range of ancient texts and artifacts. And his writing is so engaging and vivid that he makes the religious practices come alive. This will be a very influential book."--AnneMarie Luijendijk, Princeton University"David Frankfurter has cut through a haze of misconceptions and loose interpretations of evidence to get to a new and greatly improved understanding of how Christianity came to dominate Egypt in late antiquity. His book provides ideas for thinking about the spread of Christianity throughout the Mediterranean world and indeed the processes of religious change and transition as a whole. His attention to archaeology, material culture, and the domestic contexts of Christianity is new, exciting, and extremely important."--T. G. Wilfong, University of Michigan
