Funded Activity Summary

Early Jewish and Christian religious traditions. This project aims to bridge the study of early Jewish–Christian relations during late antiquity by focusing on the analysis of objects, such as amulets. Many of the narratives around surviving artefacts from antiquity conflict with inherited ideas about the boundaries between early Judaism and Christianity and raise questions that challenge assumptions about religious interaction. This project expects to generate new knowledge in the study of religion as it was practiced historically. Bringing together modern theories of comparison and social exchange, the project will offer unique insight into how religious interactions between people of different faiths actually unfold in everyday situations. It will also contribute to the implementation of primary-school curricula on religion in antiquity.
