Description
Das frühe Christentum und die sich daraus entwickelnde Lebensform kann man am besten verstehen, wenn die Identität dieser Bewegung untersucht wird. Diese besteht nicht nur aus der eigenen Auffassung ihres Selbstverständnisses. Sie ist vielmehr eine komplexe Realität, die sich aus kognitiven, rituellen und moralischen Dimensionen zusammensetzt, die dann ihrerseits in den sozialen Beziehungen und Institutionen eine feste Form annehmen. Die Beiträger dieses Bandes verwenden dazu verschiedene Interpretationsansätze. Sie untersuchen die Intertextualität und Techniken der Identitätsbildung in den Texten, soziale Erkenntnistheorie und Geschlechterforschung zusammen mit postkolonialer Kritik an den Machtrelationen in frühchristlichen Texten.
