Review
`The volume offers an interesting glimpse of recent trends in English scholarship on religion in the Roman empire, and that is its strength.'
Journal of Jewish Studies, vol. 211, no. 2
`Frede's essays are particularly brilliant and sympathetic, the best among generally excellent articles. Twenty-one pages of exceptionally helpful bibliography conclude the book.'
David Armstrong, Religious Studies Review, Vol 27, No 2, April 2001
`a feast'
David Armstrong, Religious Studies Review, Vol 27, No 2, April 2001
`As a way of catching up with the latest in research about the apologists of the ancient world, this volume is indispensable'
David Armstrong, Religious Studies Review, Vol 27, No 2, April 2001
`This volume is highly recommended to historians of Greek and Roman religions and philosophy, and of Judaism and Christianity in particular.'
Sarah Pearce, Reviews in Religion and Theology

Sarah Pearce, Reviews in Religion and Theology
`this authoritative collection'
Sarah Pearce, Reviews in Religion and Theology
`Michael Frede ... on the topic of 'Eusebius' Apologetic Writings'. Here there is perhaps the fullest and most far-reaching discussion of apologetics within the works of one author, with characteristic insight into the specifics of the problem.'

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This book is the first to tackle the origins and purpose of literary religious apologetic in the first centuries of the Christian era by discussing, on their own terms, texts composed by pagan and Jewish authors as well as Christians. Previous studies of apologetic have focused primarily on the Christian apologists of the second century. These, and other Christian authors, are represented also in this volume but, in addition, experts in thereligious history of the pagan world, in Judaism, and in late antique philosophy examine very different literary traditions to see to what extent techniques and motifs were shared across the religiousdivide. Each contributor has investigated the probable audience, the literary milieu, and the specific social, political, and cultural circumstances which elicited each apologetic text. In many cases these questions lead on to the further issue of the relation between the readers addressed by the author and the actual readers, and the extent to which a defined literary genre of apologetic developed. These studies, ranging in time from the New Testament to the earlyfourth century, and including novel contributions by specialists in ancient history, Jewish history, ancient philosophy, the New Testament, and patristics, will put the study of ancient religiousapologetic on to a new footing. This book contains a wide-ranging discussion of the literature of religious apologetic composed by pagans, Jews, and Christians in the Roman empire up to the time when Constantine declared himself a Christian. The contributors are specialists in ancient history, Jewish history, ancient philosophy, New Testament studies, and patristics.
