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 \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eadditional documentary material, including newly published papyri \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ean expanded chapter on the emperor Constantine\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003egreater attention to church controversies in the fourth and fifth centuries\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethoroughly updated references and further reading, taking into account developments in modern scholarship during the past fifteen years.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003ePagans and Christians in Late Antiquity is an invaluable resource for students of the late antique world, and of early Christianity and the early Church.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoug Lee\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Ancient History at the University of Nottingham.
