This volume contributes to the reconstruction of the history of ancient Christians on the basis of an exemplary selection of Greek inscriptions. Fifteen essays discussing inscriptions from Asia Minor and Greece offer striking insights into the lives, beliefs, and diversity of Christian communities that literary sources largely pass over.
The anniversary volume "SAPERE Syntheses" draws conclusions from 25 years of editorial and commentary work. Prominent experts engage in a fascinating dialogue between the sciences, based on ancient voices, on the topics of "truth," "life," "humanity," and "world."
The debates presented in this work concerning the search for God in the light of philosophy and especially the holy scriptures, the belief in Jesus Christ, or the observance of divine law as a path to happiness or salvation offer a treasure trove of discourse for all those interested in culture, religion, philosophy, theology, and ethics in the Roman imperial period, and especially, of course, for those who care about Christian-Jewish interactions and their origins.
This volume brings together contributions from leading experts on Bardesanes of Edessa, the Book of the Laws of the Lands, and his arguments on anthropology, free will, nature, fate, astrology, and eschatology.
