To Contest with All the Powers of Darkness
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…
The Emergence(s) of Christian Material Culture(s)
Asking about the emergence of Christian material culture is something like asking when a river becomes a river. Countless drops of water fall on innumerable hillsides and plains, and make their way downhill, following the pull of gravity until they coalesce into rivulets and trickles. Those in turn gather into larger flows – streams, creeks, and washes – which combine and combine again into stronger and fuller courses. All the rivers of the world…

Adverse childhood experiences and health among indigenous persons experiencing homelessness
Our results reveal that the relationship between ACEs and adult illness is not as deterministic as the current literature suggests. Access to formal health care services may allow individuals to mitigate their adverse health, thereby eliminating some of the effects of ACEs. Conversely, current tools used to measure ACEs may not translate to an Indigenous population, which speaks to a need to revise ACE related surveys to include additional advers…
The Fall and Rise of Eutychus
The story of Eutychus in Acts 20 seems to narrate a scene of a Pauline community, meeting for a communal meal and instruction in an insula building in Alexandria Troas. Some scholars have argued, however, that this tale was borrowed by Luke and appropriated to tell the story of Paul. When read through combined theoretical lenses from Michel de Certeau and Pierre Bourdieu, the story of Eutychus provides a window not into one of Paul’s communities,…
Paul’s Map and Territory
Paul had a clear understanding of how his calling and his work mapped onto geography. In contexts where he felt that others were encroaching on his territory, as in Galatians and 2 Corinthians, Paul could be very angry and defensive. Likewise, when Paul was writing to people in territories that he did not consider part of his purview, such as in Romans, he was deferential and submissive. In all three cases—in Galatians and 2 Corinthians when Paul…

Foucault’s Heterotopia in Christian Catacombs
The catacombs of Rome have captured imaginations for centuries. This innovative study takes a fresh look at these underground spaces, and considers how art, space, texts, and practices can tell us mor
Heterotopian Texts
T he art of the Cubicula of the Sacraments does more than speak for itself. It also points beyond itself to the texts it represents and references, bringing into the rooms the literary worlds created by Christians and Jews and inhabited by the community that made the Callistus Catacomb. In this way, the images found in the Cubicula transcend the particular vignettes that they depict, and link to entire, substantial literary spaces, which are them…
Prologue
S tanding in the Forum, the beating heart of the Roman Empire, a resident of third-century Rome was surrounded with signs of imperial strength and Roman hegemony: temples of Saturn and Vesta, the Arch of Augustus and the Augustan Forum, and other monuments to Roman might. From that perch atop the pinnacle of Mediterranean power, he could turn his face south and walk, passing the Coliseum on his left and then the Circus Maximus a farther distance …
Heterotopia
Sometime in the third century of the Common Era, a man we will call Dionysios began to paint pictures onto the walls of a burial chamber in the Callistus Catacomb, one now designated A3. 1 He would have required a small ladder or a stool, as the upper reaches of the wall where his work was to be done were higher than a man could comfortably reach for hours at a time—higher than the highest row of loculi that marked the wall. Perched against the c…
Conclusions and Epilogue
Having journeyed to the Callistus Catacomb and the Cubicula of the Sacraments, the visitor Callistus would have gathered up the implements of his purpose—mourning, or digging, or overseeing, or painting—and gingerly taken up an oil lamp and begun the journey back to the surface. Through labyrinthine galleries and narrow passages, for instance, one like Callistus would have made his way back to the base of the long staircase, already worn down sli…

Goal negotiation with older people in three day care settings
Drawing on a wider study of effectiveness in three models of day care, this paper explores the process and outcome of goal negotiation with older people in a day hospital, an outreach service and a day centre. Using qualitative data from interviews with day care attenders and focus groups with service providers, differing perspectives on goal setting and achievement are presented. It concludes with a brief discussion of this approach in the wider…
