Her recent publications include Renouncing the World Yet Leading the Church. The Monk-Bishop in Late Antiquity (Harvard, 2004), and the sourcebook Readings in World Christian History. Earliest Christianity to 1453, with John Coakley (Orbis, 2004). She has also published John Comenius. The Labyrinth of the World, with Howard Louthan (Paulist, 1998), and edited the volume of essays, Religion, Scholarship, and Higher Education.
