Produktinformationen zu „The Oxford Handbook of Early Christian Studies “
A wide-ranging collection of authoritative accounts covering all major areas of current research in Early Christian studies by a distinguished team of international authors. It is thematically arranged to encompass the inter-disciplinary nature of the field, examining history, literature, thought, practices, and material culture.
Klappentext zu „The Oxford Handbook of Early Christian Studies “
The Oxford Handbook of Early Christian Studies responds to and celebrates the explosion of research in this inter-disciplinary field over recent decades. As a one-volume reference work, it provides an introduction to the academic study of early Christianity (c. 100-600 AD) and examines the vast geographical area impacted by the early church, in Western and Eastern late antiquity. It is thematically arranged to encompass history, literature, thought, practices, and material culture. It contains authoritative and up-to-date surveys of current thinking and research in the various sub-specialties of early Christian studies, written by leading figures in the discipline. The essays orientate readers to a given topic, as well as to the trajectory of research developments over the past 30-50 years within the scholarship itself. Guidance for future research is also given. Each essay points the reader towards relevant forms of extant evidence (texts, documents, or examples of material culture), as well as to the appropriate research tools available for the area. This volume will be useful to advanced undergraduate and post-graduate students, as well as to specialists in any area who wish to consult a brief review of the 'state of the question' in a particular area or sub-specialty of early Christian studies, especially one different from their own.

Rezension zu „The Oxford Handbook of Early Christian Studies “
Without doubt, this will become a major reference tool and a number of the chapters will find their way onto reading lists for classes studying early Christianity. |s Paul Foster, Expository Times
Pressezitat
These essays, as well as many others in the volume, provide the reader with a helpful orientation to the figure or issue under consideration, and all of the essays evidence a fairness and balance in presentation; where an issue is unsettled or controverted, the author signals such to the reader and indicates where she should turn to pursue the question. Michael Heintz, Religious Studies Review
