DRAKE, H. A., A Century of Miracles. Christians, Pagans, Jews, and the Supernatural, 312-410. Oxford University Press, 2017. 328p. Hardback. This is an engaging study in how history is narrativised. The assumptions that Drake draws and frameworks that he establishes make for an enlightening read... This page-turner reads like a serialised novel on the real schemers and scoundrels of the late Roman Empire, written by a seasoned scholar well-versed in the ancient source material and scholarly landscape. Drake's good humour and varied, supporting references (for example, movies, material culture) will interest a wide audience... the relevance of this monograph extends far beyond the century of miracles.
