Lee documents the transformation of the religious landscape of the Roman world from one of enormous diversity of religious practices and creeds in the 3\u003csup\u003erd\u003c\/sup\u003e century to a situation where, by the 6\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century, Christianity had become the dominant religious force. Using translated extracts from contemporary sources he examines the fortunes of pagans and Christians from the upheavals of the 3rd Century, through the dramatic events associated with the emperors Constantine, Julian and Theodosius in the 4th, to the increasingly tumultuous times of the 5th and 6th centuries, while also illustrating important themes in late antique Christianity such as the growth of monasticism, the emerging power of bishops and the development of pilgrimage, as well as the fate of other significant religious groups including Jews and Manichaeans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new edition has been updated to include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eadditional docu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This is an invaluable collection for students and teachers alike, offering clear insight into the complexities of the different sources for the study of religion in late antiquity and the ways that historians have interpreted them.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeville Morley, Bristol, UK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"the author's contributions are clear and helpful, the primary materials well chosen and quite interesting.
