The essays in this work examine issues related to authority,
identity, or change in religious and philosophical traditions of
the third century CE. This century is of particular interest
because of the political and cultural developments and conflicts
that occurred during this period, which in turn drastically changed
the social and religious landscape of the Roman world. The specific
focus of this volume edited by Jordan D. Rosenblum, Lily Vuong, and
Nathaniel DesRosiers is to explore these major creative movements
and to examine their strategies for developing and designating
orthodoxies and orthopraxies. Contributors were encouraged to
analyze or construct the intersections between parallel religious
and philosophical communities of the third century, including
points of contact either between or among Jews, Christians, pagans,
and philosophers. As a result, the discussions of the material
contained within this volume are both comparative in nature and
interdisciplinary in approach, engaging participants who work in
the fields of Religious Studies, Philosophy, History and
Archaeology. The overall goal was to explore dialogues between
individuals or groups that illuminate the mutual competition and
influence that was extant among them, and to put forth a general
methodological framework for the study of these ancient dialogues.
These religious and philosophical dialogues are not only of great
interest and import in their own right, but they also can help us
to understand how later cultural and religious developments
unfolded.
