Leading scholars explore how collective memory and group history played roles in identity formation, political propaganda, and religious beliefs and practice for Jews, Christians and pagans in late antiquity.
Leading scholars in early Christianity, Judaic studies, classics, history and archaeology explore the ways that memories were retrieved, reconstituted and put to use by Jews, Christians and their pagan neighbours in late antiquity, from the third century B.C.E. to the seventh century C.E.
