Editorial Reviews

Review
"...with such books as these two impressive volumes by L. Michael White, we can more securely imagine the Christians of the late Roman Empire at home in their churches, their own sacred spaces." -- Coptic Church Review

"This is an excellent new presentation of the Gospel of Thomas for a general audience, and it will be a very useful textbook." -- Religious Studies Review

"White places an impressive array of data at the disposal of teachers and students of the early Christian Mediterranean and comparative architecture. White does a great service in encouraging historians of religion and theology to broaden their data bases to include extra-textual material...architecture isnt just for art historians any more...as well as situating his work in the comparative context of contemporary Judaic and Mithraic developments. These fine research tools belong in every theology and religious studies library; Volume I by itself would make a useful supplement to courses in early church history or art." -- Religious Studies Review

"with such books as these two impressive volumes by L. Michael White, we can more securely imagine the Christians of the late Roman Empire at home in their churches, their own sacred spaces." -- Anglican Theological Review
