Melania - Early Christianity Through the Life of One Family

"In this tightly focused volume, Catherine Chin and Caroline Schroeder have done a splendid job giving shape to the emergent Christianity of the late Roman Empire through the lens of the Melanias. The work is of a very high caliber."–Susanna Elm, Sidney H. Ehrman Professor of History and Classics at the University of California, Berkeley

"Melania makes both a significant contribution to the study of 'the Melanias' and also to a range of creative and innovative methodological interventions in the study of late antiquity. This volume is an appropriate tribute to the distinguished accomplishments of Professor Elizabeth A. Clark, in whose honor the essays have been written. I was extremely impressed."—Benjamin Dunning, Professor of Theology at Fordham University
