When it comes to the study of religion, Willi Braun is a paragon of what a methodologically rigorous and epistemologically modest academic ought to look like. Braun’s career began in the 1990s, when he studied among a cadre of other notable graduate students at the Centre for the Study of Religion at University of Toronto—what is often referred to as the “Toronto School.” There, Braun and his comrades maintained a fidelity to a particular methodological ethos: that religion should be studied as a fundamentally human phenomenon and that scholars should examine how the “data” of religions (texts, artifacts, rituals, etc) reveal the interests, concerns, and values of the humans who imbue that same data with something divine or transcendent. The Toronto School’s commitment to this ethos led to the inauguration of the North American Society for the Study of Religion and fostered development of the now-renowned journal Method & Theory in the Study of Religion. Braun was a catalyst in these discipline-changing initiatives and brought them to bear in his own work on antiquity and early Christianities. Yet beyond that, Braun’s career also involved an unwavering commitment to pedagogy, as he selflessly endeavored to pass on his exceptional professional and personal qualities to his students. In an effort to honor Braun’s work and mentorship, this volume is focused on exploring, probing, and theorizing ancient religious data as reflections of human interests and activities.

Obwohl es immer populärer wird, den Ursprung der frühesten ländlichen Jesus-Bewegung im bäuerlichen Milieu zu sehen, haben die Befürworter dieser Theorie bisher nicht die Implikationen der Tatsache untersucht, dass das älteste Zeugnis dieser Bewegung ein höchst stilisiertes Schriftstück ist. Im Gegenteil, die Logienquelle Q, ein anspruchsvoller Text mit Ähnlichkeiten zu anderen antiken Schriften und sogar dokumentarischen Papyri, scheint kein Produkt aus bäuerlichem Umfeld zu sein. Dennoch scheint Q auch kein Produkt der Eliten zu sein, denn der Text ist voller Tropen zu sozialen und ökonomischen Grenzlagen. Um Zugang zur schwer fassbaren "mittleren Gesellschaftsschicht" zu erhalten, aus der die Verfasser von Q möglicherweise stammen, untersucht Sarah E. Rollens Kulturen übergreifend Figuren aus dem Mittelstand, um das ideologische Vorhaben in Q zu verstehen.
