This study of Zeno of Verona (c.370 AD) gives a portrait of an important, but neglected bishop and preacher. It describes Verona's Easter Vigil and the initiation ceremonies based around it, and examines the bishop's Easter sermons, translated here into English. The book explores Zeno's distinctive approach and theology, his use of imagery and of the Bible, and also how he differs from Ambrose and other prominant writers. It marks Zeno's place in the varied practice and understanding of baptism.
