Scholars of religion have long assumed that ritual and belief constitute the fundamental building blocks of religious traditions and that these two components of religion are interrelated and interdependent in significant ways. Generations of New Testament and Early Christian scholars have produced detailed analyses of the belief systems of nascent Christian communities, including their ideological and political dimensions, but have by and large ignored ritual as an important element of early Christian religion and as a factor contributing to the rise and the organization of the movement. In recent years, however, scholars of early Christianity have begun to use ritual as an analytical tool for describing and explaining Christian origins and the early history of the movement. Such a development has created a momentum toward producing a more comprehensive volume on the ritual world of Early Christianity employing advances made in the field of ritual studies. The Oxford Handbook of Early Christian Ritual gives a manifold account of the ritual world of early Christianity from the beginning of the movement up to the fifth century. The volume introduces relevant theories and approaches; central topics of ritual life in the cultural world of early Christianity; and important Christian ritual themes and practices in emerging Christian groups and factions.

Identifying the group or position that the author of Colossians attacks in ch 2 of that letter has long occupied scholars, but no interpretative consensus has resulted. This study details the inadequacy of existing reconstructions and offers in their stead the portrait of philosophically inclined Gentiles drawn to the Jewish community and then to the Christian congregation by ideas and practices congenial with their view of the world. Central to the Colossian philosphy''s outlook was the pursuit of divine knowledge or wisdom through (1) the order of the cosmic elements (2.8, 20); (2) the bodily ascetism that unencumbered the investigative mind (2.18, 23); and (3) intermediaries between heaven and earth (angels and demons; 2.18). These features are typical of Middle Platonism in the New Testament era. At the same time, the philosophy''s calendar (2.16) and stress on humility (2.18, 23) indicate Jewish and Christian influences. Hence, the Colossian philosophy appears to be a distinctive blend of popular Middle Platonic, Jewish, and Christian elements that cohere around the pursuit of wisdom. Flyer blurb: This study details the inadequacy of existing reconstructions and offers in their stead the portrait of philosophically inclined Gentiles drawn to the Jewish community and then to the Christian congregation by ideas and practices congenial with their view of the world.

This volume utilizes Catherine Bell’s ritual theory to shed new light on the many rituals reflected in ancient Mediterranean texts. In recent decades scholars of religion have come to realize that ritual and bodily practices are just as important for religion as beliefs and doctrine. With the development of ritual studies in the 1990s there arose a critical framework for investigating ritual and practice. Only recently, however, has Bell’s theorizing been employed to study the rituals portrayed in ancient texts. This cross-disciplinary examination assesses the utility of Bell’s theorizing for studying the textual evidence for rituals of the ancient Near East, the Hebrew Bible, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the New Testament, and other early Christian literature.The contributors to this volume illustrate a path away from regarding rituals as inert and fixed and toward a more complex and vibrant interactive model of ritual behaviour. In this volume, as each scholar works to recover the traces of long-past rituals in a particular set of materials, these and other concepts are consciously employed to guide or challenge the investigation, pushing beyond previous conclusions about ancient rituals. The contributors’ attention to theory, and especially the social context, practical function, and symbolic interpretation, set this collection apart from studies that consider the rituals in more traditional textual ways.

This volume advances our understanding of early Christianity as a lived religion by approaching it through its rites, the emotions and affects surrounding those rites, and the material setting for the practice of them.
The connections between emotions and ritual, between rites and their materiality, and between emotions and their physical manifestation in ancient Mediterranean culture have been inadequately explored as yet, especially with regard to early Christianity and its water and dining rites. Readers will find all three areas—ritual, emotion, and materiality—engaged in this exemplary interdisciplinary study, which provides fresh insights into early Christianity and its world.
Ritual, Emotion, and Materiality in the Early Christian World will be of special interest to interdisciplinary-minded researchers, seminarians, and students who are attentive to theory and method, and those with an interest in the New Testament and earliest Christianity. It will also appeal to those working on ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman religion, emotion, and ritual from a comparative standpoint.

This volume investigates the central role of physical bodies, ritual technologies, healing practices, gender constructions, and visual imagery in creating and sustaining religious meaning in antiquity.Religious life in the ancient world was profoundly shaped by the interplay of materiality, ritual, embodiment, and visuality. Far from being purely intellectual or doctrinal, religious practices across Greco-Roman and early Christian contexts were enacted through tangible, sensory, and embodied experiences that engaged worshippers physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Drawing from a rich array of primary sources and theoretical frameworks, especially gender studies and ritual studies, the chapters collectively emphasize that religion in this period was fundamentally experienced through ritualized actions, embodied transformations, and visually charged sacred spaces. With its focus on ritual, gender, and the body, the book offers readers a fresh approach to ancient Christianity and the Greco-Roman world in which it emerged.This interdisciplinary volume is suitable for students and scholars working on the New Testament and early Christianity and issues of ritual, gender, and the body in the early Christian world.

Das leitende Thema dieses Bandes ist die in den 1970er Jahren in der Bibelwissenschaft einsetzende soziale und kulturelle Wende (social and cultural turn). Sie stellt eine der wichtigsten Innovationen der wissenschaftlichen Erforschung des Alten und Neuen Testaments im 20. und beginnenden 21. Jahrhundert dar. Der einseitig auf theologische Ideen und herausragende Individuen verengte Fokus der traditionellen Exegese wird bewusst geweitet. Die biblischen Texte werden in ihren sozialen, ökonomischen, politischen und kulturellen Kontexten gedeutet, durch die sie geprägt wurden. Die sozialwissenschaftliche Bibelauslegung ermöglicht so ein vertieftes Verständnis zahlreicher biblischer Aussagen. In den einzelnen Beiträgen zu Themen und Texten v. a. des Neuen Testaments zeigen international führende VertreterInnen dieser Forschungsrichtung die Leistungsfähigkeit dieser Methodik, wobei sowohl soziologische und sozialgeschichtliche als auch ethnologische und kulturanthropologische Zugänge vorgestellt werden.

El Nuevo Testamento es una obra de gran importancia en la cultura occidental, pero a menudo resulta poco accesible para los estudiantes por las enormes diferencias entre el mundo moderno y el antiguo mundo mediterráneo en que fue escrito. Para poder entender y apreciar plenamente los libros que conforman el Nuevo Testamento, es absolutamente necesario desarrollar un entendimiento transcultural de los valores de aquella sociedad mediterránea de la que surgieron. Dietmar Neufeld y Richard E. DeMaris han logrado reunir a biblistas con conocimientos de ciencias sociales con el fin de desarrollar modelos interpretativos que permitan entender conceptos como colectivismo, parentesco, memoria, etnicidad y honor para mostrar cómo aplicar esos modelos a los textos neotestamentarios. El parentesco es ilustrado con el análisis de la Sagrada Familia así como de las primeras organizaciones cristianas; el género, con el estudio de las ideas de Pablo sobre la mujer; y el paisaje y la espacialidad, con una exposición sobre Jesús de Nazaret. Este libro es el compañero ideal para el estudio del Nuevo Testamento.
