The present volume contains the proceedings of an international
colloquium that dealt with heavily fragmented texts and
hypothetical sources, and the "shadowy" characters and movements
they feature. These two aspects are combined and studied to
ascertain how they have been handled in the history of research, to
find out what they reveal about the community or the group
expressing itself through (or hiding behind) them, and to establish
the role these documents and figures or groups should be given in
reconstructing an overall picture of developments in the theology
and religious life of early Christianity. As can be imagined, such
documents and sources have sometimes been taken as an open
invitation to come up with all sorts of highly creative exegesis,
adventurous reconstructions of texts and movements, and quite
daring suggestions about identifying particular groups or presumed
literary influences between documents. The essays contribute to the
writing of a critical history of researching these types of
documents and movements.
