... For those interested in the ideology of imperial power and Christianity in late antiquity, this book is easy to recommend, even for a relative newcomer. This recommendation is helped by the fact that City of Caesar, City of God is Open Access, which will no doubt increase the volume’s impact. While there are missed opportunities and areas for expansion, as a whole this book presents a diverse, yet cohesive, look at the late antique world of Constantinople and Jerusalem.

I noted the publication of the book here.
