Recent Studies in Early Christianity – serie

First published in 1999. Social history occupies a major place in modern historical study, and this situation is no less true in the field of early Christianity, where social history has attracted a large number of studies in recent years. This volume selects some of the prominent aspects of the relations of Christianity in late antiquity to its social environment. Topics covered include women, sexuality, family, education, slavery, friendship, and burial practices.

First published in 1999. The specific aspects of the social setting of Christianity in the early centuries of the common era (examined in Vol. I) lead into consideration of the religious, philosophical, and political setting of early Christianity. These overlapping factors in the environment of early Christianity involve contacts respectively, but not exclusively, with Jews, Greeks, and Romans.
