Further Reading

The following primary sources were cited in this chapter:

As yet, there is no general history of the religions of Late Antiquity. Consequently, readers must consult introductory studies dedicated to individual religions. For early Christianity, see H. Chadwick, The Early Church (London, 1993) and P. Brown, The World of Late Antiquity and The Rise of Western Christendom (both cited in the Introduction). For late Roman Jews, see the multiple volumes of Judaism in Late Antiquity, ed. J. Neusner (Leiden, 1995–2001). For late Roman paganism, see the first volume of Religions of Rome, eds. M. Beard, N. North, and S. Price, 2 vols. (Cambridge, 1998) and R. L. Fox, Pagans and Christians (New York, 1986). For Manichaeism, see The Light and the Darkness: Studies in Manicheism and Its World, eds. P. Mirecki and J. Beduhn (Leiden, 2001). On various aspects of daily life and Christianity, see the collected essays in Late Ancient Christianity (People’s History of Christianity), ed. V. Burrus (Minneapolis, MN, 2010) and Byzantine Christianity (People’s History of Christianity), ed. D. Krueger (Minneapolis, MN, 2010), along with R. MacMullen, The Second Church: Popular Christianity, AD 200–400 (Leiden, 2009) and K. Bowes, Private Worship, Public Values, and Religious Change in Late Antiquity (Cambridge, 2008). For Judaism, see The Oxford Handbook of Jewish Daily Life in Roman Palestine, ed. C. Hezser (New York, 2010). For burial habits, see E. Rebillard, The Care of the Dead in Late Antiquity, trans. E. Rawlings and J. Routier-Pucci (Ithaca, NY, 2009). Finally, readers interested in the surprising fluidity of late antique lived religion should explore D. Frankfurter, Christianizing Egypt: Syncretism and Local Worlds in Late Antiquity (Princeton, 2017).
