Early Christianity Literary History Appropriation Innovation thema EDItEUR::Q Philosophy and Religion::QR Religion and beliefs::QRV Aspects of religion::QRVG Theology Scholars working on New Testament, ancient history, classical studies, Jewish studies, patristics and religious studies of the Hellenistic and Roman worlds. The rise of early Christianity was accompanied by a period of impressive literary production. Early Christian authors combined literary forms from Greco-Roman writings with the style and content of Hellenistic Jewish literature to create a tertium quid. Their literary works are therefore comparable to both Jewish and Greco-Roman contemporary writings, but they adopt, modify and transform literary conventions according to their needs and interests to communicate their message showing signs of literary innovation and creativity. This volume shows the innovative aspect of early Christian literature, by integrating adjacent fields of research as ancient history, classical studies, Jewish studies, patristics and religious studies. The analyses explore how and why early Christian literature unexpectedly established itself as a literary force in the early imperium. 2026-06-06T06:07:48Z 2026-06-06T06:07:48Z 2026-06-05T13:54:06Z 2026 book book ONIX_20260605T151934_9783666500633_9 2364-2165 https://www.vr-elibrary.de/doi/book/10.13109/9783666500633 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/113901 9783666500633 https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/177307 eng Studia Aarhusiana Neotestamentica (SANt) open access image/jpeg Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/113901/1/9783666500633.pdf Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 10.13109/9783666500633 10.13109/9783666500633 f0c96982-0af7-4ed4-af3e-e2461f2d12c9 9783666500633 702 Göttingen open access
