Several local contexts are examined in great detail: Gaza, Athens, Alexandria, Aphrodisias, central Asia Minor, northern Syria, the Nile basin, and the province of Arabia.\u003cbr\u003eIt lays particular emphasis on the criticism of epigraphy, legal evidence, and hagiographic texts, and traces the demographic growth of Christianity and the chronology of this process in select local contexts. It also seeks to understand the behavioral patterns of conversion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank Trombley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004274812\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004274815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Frank Trombley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48089128403199,"sku":"9789004274815","price":76.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7b657ce3-b244-4fb6-ba85-001ba1a66220.jpg?v=1769108345","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hellenic-religion-and-christianization-c-frank-trombley-9789004274815","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
