Repentance in Late Antiquity offers a detailed historical and theological study of repentance within Eastern Christian ascetic traditions between c. 400 and 650 CE. Alexis C. Torrance examines how practices of repentance shaped the everyday moral, spiritual, and communal life of Christians in the late antique Eastern Mediterranean.

Drawing on monastic texts, patristic writings, and ascetic literature, the book shows how repentance functioned not merely as a response to sin but as a lifelong framework for Christian identity and transformation. This scholarly work is essential for students and researchers of early Christianity, late antiquity, theology, and religious history.
