This handbook situates early Christian meals in their broader
context, with a focus on the core topics that aid understanding of
Greco-Roman meal practice, and how this relates to Christian
origins. In addition to looking at the broader Hellenistic context,
the contributors explain the unique nature of Christian meals, and
what they reveal about early Christian communities and the
development of Christian identity. Beginning with Hellenistic
documents and authors before moving on to the New Testament
material itself, according to genre - Gospels, Acts, Letters,
Apocalyptic Literature - the handbook culminates with a section on
the wider resources that describe daily life in the period, such as
medical documents and inscriptions. The literary, historical,
theological and philosophical aspects of these resources are also
considered, including such aspects as the role of gender during
meals; issues of monotheism and polytheism that arise from the
structure of the meal; how sacrifice is understood in different
meal practices; power dynamics during the meal and issues of
inclusion and exclusion at meals.
