Philippi at the time of Paul and after his death
by Charalambos Bakirtzis and Helmut Koester (1998)
About this book
Representing a cooperative effort between archaeologists and New Testament scholars, this volume presents a full account of all archaeological finds related to Philippi as it existed in the early Roman Imperial period. In addition, it contains a discussion of the consequences of the discovery in Philippi of the early fourth-century "Basilika of Paul" and the subsequent construction of an octagon around an older tomb of a hero, suggesting that a cult of the martyr Paul flourished in Philippi during the fourth, fifth, and sixth centuries. The volume also includes the first-ever publication of a recently discovered inscription mentioning a Jewish synagogue, photographs, and illustrations.

The former Yugoslavia's diverse peoples
Matjaž Klemenčič and Mitja Žagar
"At the end of the twentieth century, interregional hostilities in the former Yugoslavia culminated with Slobodan Milosevic's campaign of ethnic cleansing, NATO intervention in the region, and, ultimately, revolution. But these were just the latest episodes of upheaval in a region rocked by ethnic violence for centuries. From the settlement of the South Slavs in the sixth century to the crisis and democratization in the 1980s and the disintegration of the country in the early 1990s, The Former Yugoslavia's Diverse Peoples traces the bloody history of the region through to the fragile alliances of its present-day countries."--Jacket.
