The workshop will bring to a conclusion the group’s research activities on the authorisation of early Christian knowledge claims in Greece, and offer an overview of the research findings in the light of the Inscriptiones Christianae Graecae (ICG) [www.epigraph.topoi.org] database.
The workshop will stimulate further scholarly discussion on the topic of the emergence and expansion of early Christianity in Asia Minor and Greece in antiquity and provide a final impulse for the publications currently in preparation and focusing on Macedonia, Galatia, the Maeander valley. It will also initiate a consultation for a collective volume edited by C. Breytenbach and C. Zimmermann on the rise of Early Christianity in Attica and Corinthia.
