David Frankfurter examines the complex religious transition of Egypt during late antiquity, moving beyond traditional narratives of institutional conversion. By analyzing the persistence of local traditions, magical practices, and vernacular piety, the author illustrates how Egyptian society integrated Christian elements into existing cultural frameworks through a process of profound syncretism.
