The Making of a Christian Empire
"The Making of a Christian Empire is the first full-length book to interpret the Divine Institutes as a historical source. Exploring Lactantius's use of theology, philosophy, and rhetorical techniques, Digeser perceives the Divine Institutes as a sophisticated proposal for a monotheistic state that intimately connected the religious policies of Diocletian and Constantine, both of whom used religion to fortify and unite the Roman Empire."--BOOK JACKET.
Alfred Loisy and the Making of History of Religions
This monograph studies the professionalization of History of religions as an academic discipline in late 19th and early 20th century France and Europe. Its common thread is the work of the French Modernist priest and later Professor of History of religions at the Collège de France, Alfred Loisy (1857-1940), who participated in many of the most topical debates among French and international historians of religions. Unlike his well-studied Modernist theology, Loisy’s writings on comparative religion, and his rich interactions with famous scholars like F. Cumont, M. Mauss, or J.G. Frazer, remain largely unknown. This monograph is the first to paint a comprehensive picture of his career as a ...
The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Christian Martyrdom
A unique, wide-ranging volume exploring the historical, religious, cultural, political, and social aspects of Christian martyrdom Although a well-studied and researched topic in early Christianity, martyrdom had become a relatively neglected subject of scholarship by the latter half of the 20th century.

Heightened cultural, religious, and political debates about Islamic martyrdom have, in a large part, prompted increased interest in the role of martyrdom in the Christian tradition. The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Christian Martyrdom is a compre...
Between Faith and Reason
The Roman Catholic Modernist Crisis erupted as the nineteenth century came to a close and the twentieth century began. Pope St. Pius X famously condemned “modernism” as “the synthesis of all heresies” in his 1907 papal encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis. Many may wonder whether or not modernism remains a relevant field of study. Roman Catholic Modernism and the Catholic Magisterium’s response to Modernism, was a significant phase in twentieth-century Catholic theology and history, and it formed an essential part of the context necessary for understanding what led to the Second Vatican Council. This volume explores the continued relevance of Modernism, with a special focus on the contributions of Alfred Loisy, one of the pivotal figures within the history of the Modernist Crisis.
