The study of Late Antiquity can shed considerable light on a contemporary world that is witnessing a rebirth in the power of religion at the level of politics, social practice, and intellectual discourse. With its rich pool of sources, its notoriety as a pivotal era in world history, and its intricate mix of pagan, Jewish, Christian and Islamic traditions, Late Antiquity offers fertile ground for religious inquiry. Forty four presenters from nine countries will examine the intersection between power and religion at the seveth biennial meeting of the Society for Late Antiquity.
