Christianity in Late Antiquity (CLA), is the official monograph series of the North American Patristics Society, published in collaboration with the University of California Press. The series treats the many cultural, ecclesiastical, and linguistic contexts familiar to Christians living in the first through eighth centuries in Africa, Asia, and Europe. Books in the series advance challenging arguments through innovative engagement with theology, social history, material culture, liturgical studies, gender studies, art history, philosophy, linguistics, literature, and other disciplines.
