Dealing with Difference: Christian Patterns of Response to Religious Rivalry in Late Antiquity and Beyond, edited by Geoffrey D. Dunn and Christine Shepardson

Abstract

The essays in this collection have their origin in the 7th International Conference on Patristic Studies held in Oxford in 2015. They are devoted to the wider framework of research on the topic of Christian rivalry in terms of competition and conflict and particular instances of such rivalry. The focus is on religious rivalry within late ancient Christianity and beyond and between Christians and others, both in the religious and the political sphere (Preface).
