Bowes, Kim
Private Worship, Public Values, and Religious Change in Late Antiquity

Using textual and archaeological evidence, Kim Bowes examines the Christian rituals of home and rural estate, which took place outside the supervision of bishops and their agents. These domestic rituals and the spaces in which they were performed were rooted in age-old religious habits. They formed a major, heretofore unrecognised force in late ancient Christian practice.
