Description: Bouttios and Late Antique Antioch assembles back together from clues and pieces a book that had disappeared from our library of Greek and Roman works. It shows how people in the distant past thought about their own history and how they discussed political and social issues across a seemingly insurmountable divide in a period of existential crisis.
Brief description: Benjamin Garstad is Professor of Classics at MacEwan University.
Review Quotes: Garstad's volume offers a historically coherent and lucid analysis, full of interesting insights and ideas. Bouttios and Late Antique Antioch is therefore a contribution of great relevance not only for those who wish to study Bouttios, but also for anyone who deals with fourth-century Christian literature and historiography and with the broader religious and literary polemic of the Constantinian era.--Edoardo Garbini "Bryn Mawr Classical Review" (9/11/2023 12:00:00 AM)
