Gospels and Other Narrative Experiments in the Roman Mediterranean
This article situates gospel books amid the manifold experiments in imperial Roman narrative prose. These variegated innovations were not structured by existing generic categories, although several prominent contours - fictionality, empire, wonder, and religious experience - texture the literary landscape. Both critics and adherents of the emerging Christian movement attempted to categorize gospel books. Some dismissed gospels as cheap paradoxogr…

The Order of Gospel Books
Early Christian thinkers organized books and readers in order to address a wide range of historical, theological, and ecclesial questions. As part of this late ancient habit of »bibliographic thinking,« texts from varied genres advance arguments about the sequence in which gospel books were written, the nature of the authorship involved, and the literary structures of a gospel corpus. This article analyzes how theories of gospel order functioned …
Writing, Enslavement, and Power in the Roman Mediterranean, 100 BCE–300 CE
This volume interrogates the intersections between writing and enslavement around the Roman Mediterranean. Drawing upon methods developed in studies of book history and Atlantic slavery, the essays demonstrate the myriad ways that the material and intellectual contributions of literary workers were vital to the composition, editing, copying, circulation, reading, and preservation of Roman texts. The volume exposes the way that power dynamics eras…

The New Cambridge Companion to Jesus serves as the most up to date guide and resource for understanding Jesus' multifaceted legacy, enduring impact over time and space, and relevance in today's world. Integrating textual, historical, theological, and cultural perspectives, the essays, specially commissioned for this volume, also offer a fresh and diverse overview of Jesus' significance in contemporary global contexts. Key features include insight…

Tatian and the Dura Fragment
The Textual Demiurge
This article reconsiders the classed and gendered construction of the Author in the Roman Mediterranean, a construction that generates the intertwined notions of authorship and authenticity. Modern scholarly conversations about authorship and pseudepigraphy in the Roman Mediterranean often proceed from the uninterrogated assumptions that (a) ancient texts (including early Christian texts) were the monographic products of solitary authors and (b) …
Meddling with the Gospel
The second-century philosopher Celsus disparaged Christians who “alter the original text of the Gospel three or four or many times” ( Cels. 2.27). Scholars have understood this passage as a critique of multiple distinct Gospels, but Celsus’ invective is better explained by comparison with elite second-century polemics (e.g., Gellius, Lucian, Galen) against readers who lack discernment and arbitrarily alter manuscripts. For Celsus, Christians’ irr…
Knowledge Construction in Late Antiquity
Social Studies of the sciences have long analyzed and exposed the constructed nature of knowledge. Pioneering studies of knowledge production in laboratories (e.g., Latour/Woolgar 1979; Knorr-Cetina 1981) have identified factors that affect processes that lead to the generation of scientific data and their subsequent interpretation, such as money, training and curriculum, location and infrastructure, biography-based knowledge and talent, and chan…
Eusebius the Evangelist
Eusebius the Evangelist analyzes Eusebius of Caesarea’s fourth-century reconfiguration of the Gospels as a window into broader questions of technology and textuality in the ancient Mediterranean. The four Gospels of the New Testament (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) share language, narratives, and ideas, yet they also differ in structure and detail. The sophisticated system through which Eusebius organized this intricate web of textual relationships i…

The reception of Jubilees in Greek catena manuscripts of Genesis
Several Greek catena manuscripts preserve material from Jubilees, offering valuable witness to the largely lost Greek version of the book. Yet how did material from this Second Temple composition become part of a late ancient Christian anthology? This article interrogates the transmission of Jubilees material in catena manuscripts of Genesis. Rather than offering direct witness to Greek manuscripts of Jubilees, this material had already been appr…
The Ways that Parted in the Library
This article traces how early Christian thinkers (including Irenaeus, Eusebius, Epiphanius and Jerome) conceptualised ‘Jewishness’ in bibliographic terms. The material that early Christian sources associate with the Gospel according to the Hebrews exhibits a substantial textual relationship with the Gospel according to Matthew . The distinction emerges within a fourth- and fifth-century heresiological project of bibliographic categorisation that …
Transforming Textuality
Late Antiquity witnessed a revolution in textuality. Numerous new technologies transformed the practices through which readers accessed written knowledge. Editors reconfigured existing works in order to facilitate new modes of access and new possibilities of knowledge. Despite recent investigations of late ancient knowing, tables of contents have been neglected. Addressing this lacuna, I analyze two examples from the early fourth century: Porphyr…
