Bücher der Reihe Classical Foundations

This lively and original guidebook is the first to show students new to the subject exactly what Roman social history involves, and how they can study it for themselves.

Examining sources and case studies, this book explores early Christianity, how it was studied, how it is studied now, and how Judaeo-Christian values came to form the ideological bedrock of western culture. It also includes a guide that lists major collections of literary and non-literary sources, major journals and series, and major text books.

This newest addition to the Classical Foundations series is thematically unified and examines Greek philosophical tradition and how it was created and sustained. Suitable for independent study of degree and A-level students, and the general reader.
