How do you know the nature of another person: who she is, or what she
is capable of? In four exploratory essays, a seasoned historian examines
the mechanisms by which ancient people came to have knowledge—not of
the world and its myriad processes but about something more intimate,
namely the individuals they encountered in close quarters, those they
knew in everyday life. Tracing previously unfathomed structures beneath
the surface of late ancient Christianity, Ellen Muehlberger reveals
surprising insights about the ancient world and, by extension, the
modern. Things Unseen holds treasures for scholars of early
Christian studies, for historians in general, and for all those who
wonder about how we know what we seem to know.
