How did the Christians of the first few centuries develop their beliefs and practices in Asia Minor and the Greek East? In this focused collection of essays, presented in honour of Professor Paul Trebilco, leading scholars deploy both literary and non-literary sources to illumine the Christians’ engagement with their social, cultural, and material environment. Using the latest evidence from inscriptions, papyri, and coins, the essays bring early Christian reality to life in new ways. With special sections on early Christian women and group identity, the authors showcase the fresh understanding of Christian texts that emerges from a deep grounding in history.
