Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Storin offers a thought-provoking analysis. . . . [and the] book is a welcome addition to the scholarship on Gregory’s self-presentation and will certainly stimulate further discussion about the ways we read his letter collection." * Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
"Provides clear and succinct introductions to several aspects of the social and intellectual life of Late Antiquity. It is, moreover, a commendable illustration of how these insights can be applied to specific texts." * Scoreboard for Classical Studies *
"Will prove valuable not only to scholars of Gregory or ancient epistolography, but all those interested in the interdependent constructions of rhetoric, philosophy, and the self in late antiquity."

* Ancient Jew Review *
"Self-Portrait in Three Colors adds nuance and depth to our understanding of the life and times of Gregory of Nazianzus." * Reading Religion *
"Indispensable." * Augustiniana *
