Christianity and the Contest for Manhood in Late Antiquity by Nathan D Howard
By exploring gender and identity in fourth-century Cappadocia, where bishops used a rhetoric of contest to align with classical Greek masculinity, this book contributes to discussions about how gender, identity formation, and materiality shaped episcopal office and theology in late antiquity.
'[This book] will be highly useful for scholars interested in the cultural, religious, and intellectual history of late antiquity' Elizabeth Mattingly Conner, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
