Early Christianity in the context of Roman society raises important
questions for historians, sociologists of religion and theologians
alike. This work explores the differing perspectives arising from a
changing social and academic culture. Key issues concerning early
Christianity are addressed, such as how early Christian accounts of
pagans, Jews and heretics can be challenged and the degree to which
Christian groups offered support to their members and to those in
need. The work examines how non-Christians reacted to the spectacle
of martyrdom and to Christian reverence for relics. Questions are
also raised about why some Christians encouraged others to abandon
wealth, status and gender-roles for extreme ascetic lifestyles and
about whether Christian preachers trained in classical culture
offered moral education to all or only to the social elite. The
interdisciplinary and thematic approach offers the student of early
Christianity a comprehensive treatment of its role and influence in
Roman society.
