This volume explores the adaptations of Greek tragedy, performances, and activism of playwright Luis Alfaro and their impact on the field of Classics, classroom instruction, and community outreach.The chapters in this volume are organized into three parts. Part One includes contributions that demonstrate how Alfaro’s reimagining of Greek tragedy has generated fascinating and complex lines of inquiry and comparison for Classical Studies scholars and those working on classical reception. Part Two takes readers into the classroom, showing how teachers of Greek tragedy and Classical Studies more broadly have used Alfaro’s plays as teaching tools, particularly for challenging subjects. Part Three examines the impact of Alfaro’s work in the broader community, exploring how his approach to writing and activism has benefited artists, activists, and local communities.Reimagining Classics, the Classroom, and Community with Luis Alfaro is of interest to those working on Alfaro’s life and works, as well as students, scholars, and teachers of classical reception, Greek tragedy, theater, Latin and Latin American studies, Chicanx studies, and community outreach and activism.

Every Sunday, Christians all over the world recite the Nicene Creed as a confession of faith. While most do not know the details of the controversy that led to its composition, they are aware that the Council of Nicaea was a critical moment in the history of Christianity. For scholars, the Council has long been a subject of multi-disciplinary interest and continues to fascinate and inspire research. As we approach the 1700th anniversary of the Council, The Cambridge Companion to the Council of Nicaea provides an opportunity to revisit and reflect on old discussions, propose new approaches and interpretative frameworks, and ultimately revitalize a conversation that remains as important now as it was in the fourth century. The volume offers fifteen original studies by scholars who each examine an aspect of the Council. Informed by interdisciplinary approaches, the essays demonstrate its profound legacy with fresh, sometimes provocative, but always intellectually rich ideas.
