This collection of essays investigates signs of toleration,
recognition, respect and other positive forms of interaction
between and within religious groups of late antiquity. At the same
time, it acknowledges that examples of tolerance are significantly
fewer in ancient sources than examples of intolerance and are often
limited to insiders, while outsiders often met with contempt, or
even outright violence. The essays take both perspectives seriously
by analysing the complexity pertaining to these encounters.
Religious concerns, ethnicity, gender and other social factors
central to identity formation were often intertwined and they
yielded different ways of drawing the limits of tolerance and
intolerance. This book enhances our understanding of the formative
centuries of Jewish and Christian religious traditions. It also
brings the results of historical inquiry into dialogue with
present-day questions of religious tolerance. The book contains
contributions by Ismo Dunderberg, Carmen Palmer, Michael Labahn,
Nina Nikki, Anna-Liisa Rafael, Sami Yli-Karjanmaa, Galit
Hasan-Rokem & Israel Yuval, Paul Middleton, Outi Lehtipuu,
Elizabeth Dowling, and Amy-Jill Levine.
During his long scholarly career, Heikki Raisanen (1941-2015)
touched upon many key questions in the study of early Christianity.
The topics of his research ranged from the detailed study of
various New Testament writings to methodological reflections on the
theoretical foundations of biblical studies. In this book,
international scholars deal with many of the issues that were
prominent in Raisanen's research and that continue to be debated.
The contributors build upon Raisanen's legacy as well as recent
advancements in the study of early Christianity. The volume
comprises four sections organized around topics central to
Raisanen's scholarship. These include methodological "fair play",
the non-confessional study of early Christianity, Pauline
scholarship, and biblical reception in religious communities,
including early Islam.
