• Resumen

  • The past decade of notable anniversaries has seen more books on Constantine and his conversion to Christianity than any bookshelf (however sturdy) can reasonably hold. [...]Chapter 8 considers the status of Jewish communities in the fourth-century empire in general and Palestine in particular; for the latter, Edwards characterizes the reign of Constantine as a crucial turning point (159, 174–75). [...]it is a useful reminder that any conception of religious culture in the age of Constantine has to have space for Iamblichus and Juvencus, Pachomius and Palladas, Arnobius and Zosimus.
