Over the past decades, biblical scholars have gradually become more
aware of the importance of the social sciences for their own field.
This has produced a steady flow of studies informed by work that
was done in the fields of group formation psychology, the sociology
of emerging movements and the sociology of religion, and historical
anthropology. This volume offers the proceedings of a conference
that brought together a number of expert biblical scholars,
specialists of ancient religious practices, and proponents of an
anthropological approach to ancient Christian and Greco-Roman
religious tradition. It was the explicit purpose not to focus
exclusively on purely methodological reflections, but to explore
and evaluate how methodological concepts and constructs can be
developed and then also checked in applying them on specific cases
and topics that are typical for understanding earliest
Christianity.
