"Modeling with care and rigor how to travel across the watershed of late antiquity to the present, After Transformation is one of the most original and imaginative ventures into and through ancient Mediterranean studies that I have read. There is simply so much to savor in these pages. It will draw in even those readers who may not be initially primed for its message. I was transformed by this book." - Dan-El Padilla Peralta, author of Divine Institutions: Religions and Community in the Middle Roman Republic"In this playful and lyrical history, Maia Kotrosits draws out the transhistorical salience of Christian late antiquity. A remarkable humanistic achievement by a leading steward of the next generation of scholarly thought, After Transformation will provoke and empower the scholarship of all those invested in early Christianity." - Kathryn Lofton, author of Consuming Religion
