Horizontal Chemistry
In 1976 Raymond Williams commented, ‘Culture is one of the two or three most complicated words in the English language.’ Such implied difficulty has not prevented Bloomsbury Academic, since the 2000s, from publishing around forty series of their well-produced and generously illustrated Cultural Histories, with, according to their website, a further fifty in progress. Each series contains six volumes, each book covering, in theory, the same chrono…
The Cambridge History of Ancient Christianity
The first three hundred years of the common era witnessed critical developments that would become foundational for Christianity itself, as well as for the societies and later history that emerged thereafter. The concept of 'ancient Christianity,' however, along with the content that the category represents, has raised much debate. This is, in part, because within this category lie multiple forms of devotion to Jesus Christ, multiple phenomena, an…
Early Greek Philosophies of Nature
This book examines the philosophies of nature of the early Greek thinkers and argues that a significant and thoroughgoing shift is required in our understanding of them. In contrast with the natural world of the earliest Greek literature, often the result of arbitrary divine causation, in the work of early Ionian philosophers we see the idea of a cosmos: ordered worlds where there is complete regularity. How was this order generated and maintaine…

Non-canonical Epistles and Related Literature
This chapter sets out to situate non-canonical epistles in the wider literary context of letter writing in Late Antiquity and in the historical context of early Christianity. It notes that letters appear to be less prominent among Early Christian Apocrypha than they are in other collections of Christian texts, such as the New Testament and the Apostolic Fathers, and in early Christian literature more widely. One possible explanation is that lette…
Anaximander: A Re-Assessment
Anaximander, the sixth-century BCE philosopher of Miletus, is often credited as being the instigator of both science and philosophy. The first recorded philosopher to posit the idea of the boundless cosmos, he was also the first to attempt to explain the origins of the world and humankind in rational terms. Anaximander's philosophy encompasses theories of justice, cosmogony, geometry, cosmology, zoology and meteorology. Anaximander: A Re-assessme…
The Oxford Handbook of Early Christian Apocrypha
This volume addresses issues and themes that arise in the study of early Christian apocryphal literature. Part I consists of authoritative surveys of the main branches of apocryphal literature (gospels, acts, epistles, apocalypses, and related literature) and Part II considers key issues that they raise. These include their contribution to our understanding of developing interpretations of Jesus, the apostles, and other important figures such as …
Oxford Handbook of Early Christian Apocrypha
The Oxford Handbook of Early Christian Apocrypha' addresses issues and themes that arise in the study of early Christian apocryphal literature. It discusses key texts including the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mary, the Gospel of Peter, letters attributed to Paul, Peter, and Jesus, and acts and apocalypses written about or attributed to different apostles. Part One consists of authoritative surveys of the main branches of apocryphal literature…
William Harvey, Aristotle and astrology
In this paper I argue that William Harvey believed in a form of astrology. It has long been known that Harvey employed a macrocosm–microcosm analogy and used alchemical terminology in describing how the two types of blood change into one another. This paper then seeks to examine a further aspect of Harvey in relation to the magical tradition. There is an important corollary to this line of thought, however. This is that while Harvey does have a b…
Papias
Papias of Hierapolis was quite possibly among the most influential Christian leaders of the first part of the second century CE . Yet we know little of his life or teaching.
Oxford Early Christian Gospel Texts
Oxford World's Classics: Plato: Timaeus and Critias
"Timaeus, one of Plato's acknowledged masterpieces, is an attempt to construct the universe and explain its contents by means of as few axioms as possible. The result is a brilliant, bizarre, and surreal cosmos - the product of the rational thinking of a creator god and his astral assistants, and of purely mechanistic causes based on the behaviour of the four elements. At times dazzlingly clear, at times intriguingly opaque, this was state-of-the…
Prior or Posterior? The Gospel of the Ebionites and the Gospel of Luke
This paper seeks first to refute the recent thesis of J. R. Edwards that the Gospel of the Ebionites may be identified as a source of Luke. It then discusses the importance of the Gospel of the Ebionites as a potential witness to two variant readings in the synoptic tradition, and argues that its evidence deserves a place in the apparatus to Luke 3.22 in hand editions of the Greek NT
The Reception of Luke and Acts in the Period before Irenaeus: Looking for Luke in the Second Century
This is the first book-length discussion of the reception of Luke and of Acts in the period before Irenaeus. It therefore fills this lacuna. It consists of a comprehensive investigation both of apparent citations of Luke and of Acts and also of the earliest papyri and external testimony to Luke and to Acts. Andrew Gregory challenges the methodological basis on which accounts of the reception of other canonical Gospels are based, for he takes seri…
Eudoxus, Callippus and the Astronomy of the Timaeus
Whether the astronomy of the Timaeus had any significant influence on Eudoxus' theory of homocentric spheres is a matter of contention. Some commentators deny any such influence.1 Here I argue for a view of the Timaeus' astronomy, and of Eudoxus' astronomy, whereby Eudoxus' work was as much a natural development of the Timaeus as Callippus' work was of Eudoxus. I also argue for an important interpretative principle. This is that Plato, Eudoxus an…

Aristotle, Dynamics and Proportionality
What ought we to make of Aristotle's apparently disparate comments on bodies in motion? I argue that Aristotle is concerned with a higher level project than dynamics and that is the establishment of a coherent theory of change in general. This theory is designed to avoid the paradoxes and infinities that Aristotle finds in Eleatic, Heraclitean and atomist accounts, notably in relation to comparatives such as 'quicker' and 'slower'. This theory re…
