Synopsis "Early Christian Communities Between Ideal and Reality"
The authors of this volume explore the notion of community as reflected upon in the writings of the Apostolic Fathers. Various aspects are dealt with, including concerns for organising the community, developing a sacramental and liturgical praxis, constructing identity against outsiders, spreading the Christian message, and building towards a better community. The interplay between ideal and reality in the sources offers some reliable information about day-to-day concerns and concrete situations in Christian communities from the end of the first century up to about 150 CE. Contributors: Paul Foster, Mark Grundeken, Clayton N. Jefford, James Kelhoffer, Taras Khomych, John S. Kloppenborg, Judith Lieu, Andreas Lindemann, Harry O. Maier, Tobias Nicklas, James Carleton Paget, Joseph Verheyden
