The essays in this volume explore the diverse ways that late antique Greek and Roman authors drew upon images to describe the one God. They analyze the rhetoric of language pictures in theological discourses and literary texts from various disciplinary perspectives, as well as the use of images as strategies of persuasion and defense.
