Book Synopsis Episcopal Elections 250-600 by : Peter Norton
Book excerpt: Norton presents a refutation of the conventional view that after the adoption of Christianity by the Romans the locals lost their voice in the appointment of bishops. He argues that this right remained for some time, with consequences for our understanding of the administration of the later empire.
