The family is a topical issue for studies of the Ancient world.
Family, household and kinship have different connotations in
antiquity from their modern ones. This volume expands that
discussion to investigate the early Christian family structures
within the larger Graeco-Roman context. The essays in the volume
offer original and diverse perspectives; particular emphasis is
given to how family metaphors, such as 'brotherhood' function to
describe relations in early Christian communities. Asceticism and
the rejection of sexuality are considered in the context of
Christian constructions of the family. Moxnes' volume presents a
comprehensive and timely addition to the study of familial and
social structures in the Early Christian world, which will
certainly stimulate further debate.
