The essays collected in Christians Shaping Identity celebrate Pauline Allen’s significant contribution to early Christian, late antique, and Byzantine studies, especially concerning bishops, heresy/orthodoxy and christology. Covering the period from earliest Christianity to middle Byzantium, the first eighteen essays explore the varied ways in which Christians constructed their own identity and that of the society around them. A final four essays explore the same theme within Roman Catholicism and oriental Christianity in the late 19th to 21st centuries, with particular attention to the subtle relationships between the shaping of the early Christian past and the moulding of Christian identity today. Among the many leading scholars represented are Averil Cameron and Elizabeth A. Clark.

In The Intertextual Reception of Genesis 1-3 in Irenaeus of Lyons, Stephen Presley explores the intertextual nature of Irenaeus’ interpretation of Genesis 1-3 by drawing on contemporary discussions on the topic. Irenaeus interprets the creation accounts, Presley argues, in continuity with the rest of the scriptural witness through a series of reading strategies including: a literary sense, prophetic fulfillment, typology, philological associations, organizational strategies, narratival arrangements, prosopological interpretation, illustrative identification, and general-to-particular reasoning. Irenaeus’ perspective competes with his Gnostic interlocutors who utilize similar methods of interpretation, but fashion distinctive textual relationships between Genesis 1-3 and other texts. These reading strategies circumscribe precisely how Irenaeus’ intertextual exegesis is applied to these creation texts within the integrative structure of his theological perspective.

After playing second fiddle to the apostle Paul for a long, long time, Peter has received increased scholarly attention of late. This book builds on the recent resurgence of interest in the apostle Peter. Nineteen internationally prominent scholars of early Christian history here examine and reassess the historical Peter and his significance in Christian texts from the first three centuries. Giving due attention to archaeological data and recent scholarship, the contributors offer a comprehensive view of Peter through analysis of both New Testament texts and later, noncanonical literature. Markus Bockmuehl concludes the volume by considering present-day questions about the role of Peter, popes, and church leadership.

In this book Bruce Winter explores the varied responses of the first Christians to requirements to render divine honors to the Caesars as the conventional public expression of loyalty to Rome and its rulers. How did they cope with the culture of emperor worship when they were required to give their undivided loyalty to Jesus? First examining the significant primary evidence of emperor worship and the enormous societal pressure the first Christians would have faced to participate in it, Winter then looks at specific New Testament evidence in light of his findings. He examines individual cities and provinces and the different ways in which Christians responded to the pressure to fulfill their obligations as citizens and participate in the conventional expressions of loyalty to the Roman Empire.

An gewissenhaften Ärzten, die erkennen, was dem Menschen an Leib und Seele fehlt, und dann nach erfolgreicher Behandlung nicht einmal eine Rechnung stellen, dürften Patienten und Kassen heutzutage ihre helle Freude haben. In der Kirche der Antike und des Frühmittelalters hat man jedenfalls den vornehmlich aus dem Orient stammenden Heiligen dieses Berufsstandes dergleichen zugeschrieben und auf diese Weise das traditionelle Motiv des Christus medicus (‚Christus, der Arzt‘) aktualisiert. Die in dieser Studie zusammengetragenen Ärzte entsprechen in der einen oder anderen Form diesem Ideal, welches das Andenken dieser Gottesfreunde nicht nur in lange vergangenen Zeiten gesichert hat, sondern auch dem modernen Leser hilft, ihr Leben, Sterben und das über ihr irdisches Ende hinausgehende Wirken zu erschließen. Sie begegnen in den Quellen, bald mit kurzen Notizen, bald legendarisch verfremdet oder mit langen Katalogen mirakulöser Eingriffe versehen, als Glaubenszeugen, die in der Verfolgung den Tod erlitten oder ihr geistliches Amt gleichsam medizinisch begriffen haben. Die Wundertäter unter ihnen, die Generalisten selbst für aussichtlose Fälle, erwarten den Leser mit mehr oder weniger eigenwilligen Mitteln und Mittelchen, aber doch durchschlagendem Heilerfolg und heroischen Eingriffen.
