Whose Acts of Peter?
Slightly revised version of the author's thesis (doctoral)--University of Chicago, 2002.
Palimpsests and Related Phenomena Across Languages and Cultures
Palimpsests are manuscripts whose original content has been erased, scraped away, washed off and later overwritten. In their lower layers, they often contain unique versions of texts – including those otherwise lost – from Antiquity and the Middle Ages. The volume addresses palimpsesting across languages, cultures, and times, as well as up-to-date research and imaging practices applied to them and results achieved in reconstituting removed layers.
Roman Private Law in the Times of Cicero and of the Antonines
Roby, Henry John. Roman Private Law in the Times of Cicero and of the Antonines. Cambridge: At the University Press, 1902. Two volumes. xxxii, 543; xiii, [1], 560 pp. Reprinted 2000 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. LCCN 99-059270. ISBN 1-58477-074-0. Cloth. $180. * The private law of Rome is the authentic source of the substance of modern European law, and was at its highest development, at the end of the second century, before the advent of Constantinople, when Rome was still the capital of the world. Based on an examination of original sources, this scholarly treatise on Roman private law is divided into four Books: Book I: Citizenship and Status Generally, Book II: Family, Book III: Inheritance, Book IV: Property.
Missions, Nationalism and the End of Empire
Christian missions have often been seen as the religious arm of Western imperialism. What is rarely appreciated is the role they played in bringing about an end to the Western colonial empires after the Second World War. Missions, Nationalism, and the End of Empire explores this neglected subject. Respected authorities on the history of missions explore new territory in these chapters, examining from diverse angles the linkages between Christianity, nationalism, and the dissolution of the colonial empires in Asia and Africa. This work not only sheds light on the relation of religion and politics but also uncovers the sometimes paradoxical implications of the church's call to bring the gospel to all the world.

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.
