This volume brings together a set of key studies on the history and culture of Christian Georgia, along with a substantial new introduction. The opening section sets the regional context, in relation to the Byzantine empire in particular, while subsequent parts deal with the conversion and christianization of the country, the making of a 'national' church and the development of a historical identity.
'These fifteen chapters provide an excellent introduction to the place of early and medieval Georgia in relation to the larger Caucasian world, and the comprehensive bibliographies give valuable help to those wishing to pursue further investigation.' Speculum
