This volume brings together seven seminal papers on early Christian topics by the great radical historian Geoffrey de Ste. Croix, who died in 2000. Three of these have previously been published, and are widely regarded as classic studies, while the other four appear here for the first time. All the papers have been updated in terms of bibliography and referencing, and the editors have contributed essays on the questions of Ste. Croix's contribution to the study of persecution and martyrdom and his views on toleration.
