This book is a collection of nearly 175 documents—from saints, emperors, philosophers, satirists, inscriptions, graffiti, and other interesting types—that sheds light on the complex fabric of religious belief as it changed from a variety of non-Judeo-Christian movements to Christian in late antiquity. These texts illuminate and bring to life the bizarre and the banal of the social world of the Roman Empire, the world in which Christianity ultimately gained preeminence.This treasury of texts leads the reader through the matrix of beliefs among which Christianity grew. It includes both Christian and non-Christian sources, avoiding a common but obscuring division between the two. The material is presented as one single flow that satisfies natural curiosity and whets the reader's appetite for more. Brief explanatory introductions to the documents are included.

The selections here do a wonderful job tracing the transitions of Late Antiquity and I can't imagine anyone with an interest in that time not finding something evocative and new in this excellent anthology. ( )
