The faces of the other
religious rivalry and ethnic encounters in the later Roman world
by Maijastina Kahlos
The foundations of European civilization as we know it today were laid in Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages. "The faces of the other: Religious rivalry and ethnic encounters" in the Later Roman World traces the roots of the attitudes and argumentation about religious or ethnic otherness in modern western culture. It aims at deepening the historical understanding of attitudes towards otherness as well as cultural and religious conflicts in world history. "The faces of the other" discusses the conceptions, depictions, and attitudes towards the other in Graeco-Roman antiquity. The book focuses on the perception of otherness, whether other peoples or religions, in the Later Roman Empire as understood broadly, from the first until the fifth century CE.
