When we read the stories and testimonies of late ancient Christians, what different types of bodies stand before us? How do we understand the range of bodily experiences--solitary and social, private and public--that clothed ancient Christians? How can bodily experience help us explore matters of gender, religious identity, class, and ethnicity? <i>The Garb of Being</i> investigates these questions through stories from the Eastern Christian world of antiquity: monks and martyrs, families and congregations, and textual bodies. <p/>Contributors include S.
