"Joseph Sanzo refutes the current view of Christians living amicably alongside their non-Christian neighbors, forcing us to completely rethink how we approach religion in late antiquity. A truly revolutionary book!"—Jan N. Bremmer, author of Maidens, Magic and Martyrs in Early Christianity
"Ritual Boundaries is a deeply stimulating work that examines how our material evidence regarding magic challenges and destabilizes scholarly assumptions and hypotheses about Mediterranean religion in late antiquity.
