This book explores how early Christian communities constructed, developed, and asserted their identity and authority in various socio-cultural contexts in Asia Minor and Greece in the first five centuries CE. With the help of the database Inscriptiones Christianae Graecae (ICG), special attention is given to ancient inscriptions which represent a rich and valuable source of information on the early Christians’ social and religious identity, family networks, authority structures, and place and function in society. This collection of essays by various specialists of Early Christianity, Epigraphy, and Late Antiquity, offers a broad geographical survey of the expansion and socio-cultural development of Christianity/ies in Asia Minor and Greece, and sheds new light on the religious transformation of the Later Roman Empire.

This is an unusually important collection of papers. It offers a wealth of new evidence on the development of Early Christianity, put together substantially on the basis of the new Inscriptiones Christianae Graecae database. (...) This collection represents only the beginning of what will no doubt be a substantial and sustained move forward in the study of early Christianity in the Greek-speaking sphere.
