| Sumario: | "Unfinished Christians: Ritual Objects and Silent Subjects in Late Antiquity" by Georgia Frank delves into the lives of ordinary Christians in Late Antiquity, contrasting them with the more prominent figures of the time. Frank's study explores how baptism was conceptualized as a process of remaking and how Christians used portable objects to distinguish themselves in processions. The book also delves into the emotional experiences of ordinary Christians during church services and the role of nocturnal rituals in their lives. Frank's work offers valuable insights into the experiential lives of early Christians and serves as a model for rigorous research in this field. |
