In The Reception of Jesus in the First Three Centuries, Chris L.
Keith, Helen K. Bond, Christine Jacobi and Jens Schroeter, together
with an international cast of more than 70 contributors, provide a
methodologically sophisticated resource, showing the reception
history of Jesus and the Jesus tradition in early Christianity. The
three volumes focus upon the diversity of receptions of the Jesus
tradition in this time period, with memory theory providing the
framework for approaching the complex interactions between the past
of the tradition and the present of its receptions. Rather than
addressing texts specifically as canonical or non-canonical, the
volumes show the more complex reality of the reception of the Jesus
tradition in early Christianity. Core literary texts such as
Gospels and other early Christian writings are discussed in detail,
as well as non-literary contexts outside the gospel genre;
including the Apostolic Fathers, patristic writers, traditions such
as the Abgar Legend, and modifications to the gospel genre such as
the Diatesseron. Evidence from material culture, such as
pictographic representations of Jesus in iconography and graffiti
(e.g. the staurogram and Alexamenos Graffito), as well as
representations of Jesus tradition in sarcophagi and in liturgy are
also included, in order to fully reflect the transmission and
reception of the Jesus tradition. Volume 1 provides an extensive
introduction and, in 18 chapters, covers literary representations
of Jesus in the first century, featuring gospel literature and
other early Christian writings. Volume 2 examines all the literary
texts from the second and third centuries, across 40 chapters,
examining both gospel writing and other texts. Volume 3 examines
visual, liturgical and non-Christian receptions of Jesus in the
second and third centuries, across 24 chapters.
