In this study, the author has assembled the literary and archeological sources that illuminate the Christianization of Nubia in the sixth century. At their center stands a report from a Church History written by John of Ephesus, which, when combined with other documents concerning the miaphysite Church, as well as epigraphic evidence from Philae and Nubia, presents a series of events and dates for those time. In addition, the author discusses the early archeological evidence for Christianity on the island of Philae and in Nubia, including the conversion of temples and the earliest church buildings.<br/>

German Description: In dieser Studie werden philologische und archaologische Quellen zusammengestellt, die die Christianisierung Nubiens im 6. Jahrhundert nach Christus betreffen. Im Zentrum steht ein Bericht aus der Kirchengeschichte des Johannes von Ephesus, der durch die Kombination mit weiteren Dokumenten der miaphysitischen Kirche sowie epigraphischen Zeugnissen aus Philae und Nubien eine Reihe historischer Daten zu dieser Epoche liefert. Daruber hinaus werden die fruhen archaologischen Zeugnisse des Christentums, die Tempelumwandlungen sowie die ersten Kirchenbauten auf der Insel Philae und in Nubien besprochen.

„In spite of these critical remarks, however, there can be no doubt that Richter’s „Studien“ provide a learned and thorough discussion of a number of important sources for the establishment of Christianity in Nubia, from which the scholarly debate will certainly benefit.“<br/><br/>In: Vigiliae Christianae. 59 (2005) Heft 2. S. 219-223.<br/><br/>
