Transformations of Religious Practices in Late Antiquity

Transformations of Religious Practices in Late Antiquity

0 - Default Title
Description
The eighteen papers collected in this volume - fifteen of which are published in English for the first time - explore the transformations of religious practices between the third and the fifth centuries in the Western part of the Roman Empire. The first group of papers focuses on the sermons and letters of Augustine of Hippo. The second group collects papers that propose to shift attention from the construction of heresies to that of orthodoxy through the case-study of the controversy of Augustine against Pelagius and Julian of Eclanum. The last group presents studies that look at the complex relation between burial and religion.
