Zusatztext
'Patricia Cox Miller [is] a master of the skillfully wrought essay, able to communicate far beyond her subdisciplines. Students of theology, hermeneutics, and comparative literature would do well to take notice... Miller's essays make their most eloquent case for the ongoing relevance of Early Christian Studies to contemporary critical debate... [these essays present] vivid and imaginative visions.' Journal of Religion 'There is very little work in late antique studies comparable to this collection. Cox Miller has brought the task of literary theory to late antiquity in a more thorough, and consequently more convincing, manner than anyone else... a book of essays that collectively have taught scholars of late aniquity so much about how to read our texts in the unsettling ways they were intended to be read.' The Heythrop Journal
