This volume argues that Titus’s invocation of Crete affected the ways early readers developed their identities. Using archaeological data, classical writings, and early Christian documents, he describes multiple traditions that circulated on Crete and throughout the Roman Empire concerning Cretan Zeus, Cretan social structure, and Cretan Judaism. He then uses these traditions to interpret Titus and explain how the letter would intersect with and affect readers’ identities. Because readers had differing conceptions of Crete based on their location and access to and evaluation of Cretan traditions, readers would have developed their identities in multiple, conflictual, even contradictory ways.

Ascetic Passions: Emotions in Early Christian Egypt reveals the role of emotions in shaping early Christian theology, community, and monastic practices in Egypt. Drawing from biblical interpretation, theological treatises, and Coptic monastic and apocryphal literature, Crislip explores how emotions such as envy, anger, sadness, and joy influenced Christian life and thought. The book highlights how early Christians saw emotions as both spiritual challenges and tools for moral growth. Discussions of figures like Evagrius of Pontus and Shenoute showcase how emotional regulation, community, and identity were central to monastic life. The volume offers new insights into the emotional landscape of late antiquity.

Early Christian Epistolarity

Many surviving early Christian writings are in the form of letters, some sent by and to those named, others imagined. What did the authors, copyists, and later collectors intend by authoring or reworking letters, as opposed to other genres? How did the first or subsequent readers respond, differently perhaps than to a novel or history? In her Radboud Prestige Lectures in New Testament, published in this volume, Judith Lieu explores these questions by drawing on the concept of ‘epistolarity.’ Her lectures are followed by chapters by leading experts in the field who engage her work from different angles, finding points of contact and potential conversation between different texts and authors, together with possibilities for further exploration and application.
