First published in 1999. Social history occupies a major place in modern historical study, and this situation is no less true in the field of early Christianity, where social history has attracted a large number of studies in recent years. This volume selects some of the prominent aspects of the relations of Christianity in late antiquity to its social environment. Topics covered include women, sexuality, family, education, slavery, friendship, and burial practices.
Everett Ferguson is Professor of Church History Emeritus at Abilene Christian University. A specialist in early Christian history, his work in this field includes the books Encyclopedia of Early Christianity, Studies inEarly Christianity, and The Church of Christ: A BiblicalEcclesiology for Today
