Invention, rewriting, usurpation: Discursive fights over religious traditions in antiquity

International conference 31 May - 4 June 2010

  2. Invention and Maintenance of Religious Traditions: Theoretical and Historical Perspectives
  3. Orthodoxy and Heresy
  4. Formation of the Biblical Canon
  5. Canons, Classics and Foundation Texts in Antiquity: A Comparative Perspective
