Aliens and Sojourners: Self as Other in Early Christianity
(Part of the Divinations: Rereading Late Ancient Religion Series)
No Customer Reviews
Early Christians spoke about themselves as resident aliens, strangers, and sojourners, asserting that otherness is a fundamental part of being Christian. But why did they do so and to what ends? How did Christians' claims to foreign status situate them with respect to each other and to the larger Roman world as the new movement grew and struggled to make sense of its own boundaries?
