Reviews

From Roman to Early Christian Thessalonikē: Studies in Religion and Archaeology is a rich resource not only for the light it sheds on Thessalonikē but also for the interpretive case studies it offers for an impressive range of ancient materials—architecture, inscriptions, texts (canonical and non-canonical), sarcophagi, ceramics, glassware and mosaics. -- James C. Walters, Associate Professor of New Testament and Christian Origins, Boston University School of Theology
