Nova doctrina vetusque

At the center of contemporary interest in Late Antiquity is the dramatic spread and development of Christianity. This collection of sixteen essays explores early Christianity by examining its architecture, its scriptures, and the writings of its eminent historians, apologists, monastic leaders, and theologians. Greek authors such as Origen, Athanasius, and Eusebius are studied, but also Latin authors from the Western part of the empire, such as Jerome and Augustine.
