With the help of the database Inscriptiones Christianae Graecae ( ICG ), special attention is given to ancient inscriptions which represent a rich and valuable source of information on the early Christians’ social and religious identity, family networks, authority structures, and place and function in society. This collection of essays by various specialists of Early Christianity, Epigraphy, and Late Antiquity, offers a broad geographical survey of the expansion and socio-cultural development of Christianity/ies in Asia Minor and Greece, and sheds new light on the religious transformation of the Later Roman Empire.Ancient Judaism and early Christianity ;Volume 103.1871-6636Church historyPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600TurkeyChurch historyGreeceChurch historyChurch history275.61/01Breytenbach Cilliers1954-Ogereau Julien M.1981-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910796870503321Authority and identity in emerging Christianities in Asia Minor and Greece3686628UNINA
