Full Description

This volume brings together a selection of papers presented at two
conferences on Jewish-Christian interaction in Antiquity held in Leuven
and Aix-en-Provence in 2013 and 2014. It aims to introduce a different
approach to this crucial topic and some new issues following from this.
Specialists of Ancient Judaism, Early Christianity, Patristics, Late
Antiquity, Rabbinic Studies, Papyrology, Epigraphy, Hagiography, and
Gnosticism have focused on such topics as the consequences of the Jewish
wars for the relations between Jews and Christians in Palestina, the
cultural and religious exchange between the two communities in Alexandria,
Smyrna, Syria, the Jewish-Christian polemics in Rabbinic literature, the
papyrological and epigraphic evidences of the Jewish and Christian
presence in Egypt and Rome, the coexistence of Jews and Christians in
Northern Italy, Hispania, North Africa, Gaul, etc. The papers are arranged
chronologically (from the 1st to the 7th century CE) as well as
geographically (the Eastern and Western part of the Roman Empire). The
volume offers both "general surveys" and "case studies", each of them
exploring different aspects of Jewish-Christian interaction.
