Dissemination of information to the surrounding society will be through:

• newsletters
• website
• popular publications
• public arrangements
• newspaper feature articles etc.

The English-language series "Early Christianity in the Context of Antiquity" (ECCA) will help communicate and disseminate the theme’s research findings internationally at a high academic level (see Current research ) whereas the target audience of the Danish-language series "Antikken og kristendommen" (Antiquity and Christianity) is the broad public (see Aktuel forskning ).

It is the aim of Theme 1: “The discursive fight over religious texts in Antiquity”, through realisation of the goals expressed in the University of Aarhus Development Contract 2005-2009 about pioneer research, to contribute internationally to a deeper understanding of early Christianity and the canonisation process as well as the implications of this for the contemporary society.

The theme’s communication schedule opens up for a dialogue with the public as well as with colleague scholars both in this country and abroad.
