Through his silences as much as his sermons he decodes the value- and political-system of his day. Valerius is talented as a reader of others and himself was read appreciatively in the Later Empire and even more so by Christians in Medieval Europe. Contributors are John Atkinson, George Baroud, Emma Brobeck, Diederik Burgersdijk, Kyle Conrau-Lewis, Alain M. Gowing, Rebecca Langlands, Sarah Lawrence, Simon Lentzsch, Jeffrey Murray, Roman Roth, David Wardle"--
