The study of the growth of early Christian intellectual life is of
perennial interest to scholars. This volume advances discussion by
exploring ways in which Christian writers in the second century did
not so much draw on Hellenistic intellectual traditions and models,
as they were inevitably embedded in those traditions. The volume
contains papers from a seminar in Rome in 2016 that explored the
nature and activity of the emergent Christian intellectual between
the late first century and the early third century. The papers show
that Hellenistic scholarly cultures were the milieu within which
Christian modes of thinking developed. At the same time the essays
show how Christian thinkers made use of the cultures of which they
were part in distinctive ways, adapting existing traditions because
of Christian beliefs and needs. The figures studied include Papias
from the early part of the second-century, Tatian, Irenaeus, and
Clement of Alexandria from the later second century. One paper on
Eusebius of Caesarea explores the Christian adaptation of
Hellenistic scholarly methods of commentary. Christian figures are
studied in the light of debates within Classics and Jewish studies.
