Title: Early Christianity in Athens, Attica, and adjacent areas : from Paul to Justinian I (1st-6th cent. AD) / by Cilliers Breytenbach, Elli Tzavella.
Description: Leiden ; Boston : Brill, [2023] | Series: Early Christianity in Greece ; volume 1 | Includes bibliographical references and index. | Summary: “This volume focuses on Christianity in Attica and its metropolis, Athens, from Paul’s initial visit in the first century up to the closing of the philosophical schools under the reign of Justinian I in the sixth century. Underscoring the relevance of epigraphic resources and the importance of methodological sophistication in analysing especially archaeological evidence, it readdresses many questions on the basis of a larger body of evidence and aims to combine literary, epigraphic, and archaeological evidence in order to create the outlines of a narrative of the rise and development of Christianity in the area. It is the first interdisciplinary study on the local history of Christianity in the area”–Provided by publisher.
