Theme 1: The discursive fight over religious texts in antiquity.

The project

The project investigates the normative function of religious texts in religious discourses in antiquity. The key focus will be to examine how different forms of early Christianity used texts in an attempt to try to make their own views normative and reject those of others.  Read project description.
