    Mohr Siebeck 2013; US$ 87.07

  • Forbearance and Compulsionby Maijastina Kahlos

    Bloomsbury Publishing 2013; US$ 107.99

    Most surveys of religious tolerance and intolerance start from the medieval and early modern period, either passing over or making brief mention of discussions of religious moderation and coercion in Greco-Roman antiquity.
