description: This book examines the relationship between Christian and non-Christian activity in the city of Corinth from the 4th to 7th centuries, focusing particularly on its urban context and the activities of both groups, rather than the religious or doctrinal elements. Rothaus (history, St. Cloud State U.) shows that non-Christian traditions were recognized and valid through the 6th century and argues that the Christians did not fully dominate until they had developed a new city, both socially and physically, by building up basilicas.
