Associate Professor of Religious Studies Jennifer Barry
has published a new open-access article in Church History: Studies in Christianity and Culture (Cambridge University Press), now available online in FirstView and scheduled to appear in print later this month. The article, “Scandal and the Late Ancient Christian Historian,” develops research from her current book project, Scandalous Christian Histories.
The book, supported by a National Endowment for the Humanities summer fellowship and under advanced contract with the University of Edinburgh Press, examines how late ancient Christian historians used scandal, bodily disruption, and narrative spectacle to shape claims about authority, orthodoxy, and divine action. This publication marks an important milestone in the completion of the project.
