Abstract
This is a book brimming with answers to searching questions, a good many of which no one had really asked before, but which, upon reading the book, now simply seem fundamental to the history of late antiquity. The paperback printing now makes this study more widely available, in keeping with its contents, which have been engagingly accessible to a broad range of readers since the book’s initial publication in 2015. Its carefully detailed and intriguing exploration of generational perspectives toward and within a major cultural shift makes this study a historiographical tour de force, with obvious appeal far beyond ancient historians. Even the most familiar parts of the fourth-century story are told in a refreshing way from which experts can learn something and likely a great deal. Who knew, for example, that the first regulation of belief (as opposed to simply conduct) in Roman history came at the hands of the emperor Julian, the only pagan Roman emperor to occupy the throne after Constantine?
