CRS faculty member Volker Menze published a highly acclaimed study on a fifth-century church leader in Alexandria. "The strength of this short, densely argued book lies in the way Menze aligns imperial agendas with internal ecclesiastical power struggles to explain the downfall of Dioscorus" (Janet Timbie, Catholic Historical Review).
