Sex, Violence, and Early Christian Texts
Examples of sexual violence and mentions of it appear with a disturbing level of frequency in the literature of early Christianity. This collection of essays explores these occurrences in canonical and noncanonical Christian texts from the first until the fifth centuries CE. Drawing from a range of interpretive lenses, scholars of early Christianity approach these writings with the goal of identifying how their authors employ the language of sexual assault, rape, and violence in order to formulate and support various rhetorical and theological claims. Individual chapters also address how and why these episodes of sexual violence have been ignored or, sometimes, read in a way that would make them less problematic. As a collection, Sex, Violence, and Early Christian Texts examines these texts carefully, ethically, and with an eye toward shining a light on the scourge of sexual violence that is so often manifest in both ancient and contemporary Christian communities.
Demonic Bodies and the Dark Ecologies of Early Christian Culture
Demonic Bodies and the Dark Ecologies of Early Christian Culture analyzes how ancient Christians constructed the Christian body through its relations to demonic adversaries through case studies of New Testament texts, Gnostic treatises, and early Christian church fathers (e.g., Ignatius of Antioch, Clement of Alexandria, and Tertullian of Carthage). This study demonstrates that the formation of early Christian cultures was part of the shaping of broader Christian "ecosystems," where nonhuman entities like demons played important roles in configuring Christians' experience of their bodies and surrounding environments.

La Lex Falcidia
Faltaba en la literatura romanística un trabajo que abordara en su integridad el derecho del heredero a retener la quarta Falcidia. Este objeto de estudio ha sido considerado tradicionalmente como especialmente dificultoso 1, habida cuenta de la cantidad de textos interpolados en D. 35,2 y 3 2. Como consecuencia de ello, la mayor parte de los autores que, a lo largo de la última centuria, han investigado de un modo u otro la lex Falcidia lo han hecho de modo segmentario, ocupándose de cualquiera de las muchas cuestiones que suscita este derecho de retentio del heres –estimación del valor de los bienes hereditarios; cálculo del activo y del pasivo; prestación de la cautio ex lege Falc...
