“Socio-religious communities obtain their identity by the interplay of self-perception and the perception of others. Surrounding convictions as well as cultural and social practices are assumed by such communities; other convictions and practices are strictly repudiated. They can evolve into the external boundary markers of in-groups and, thus, into exemption criteria for members of out-groups. This also applies to Judaism and nascent Christianity in the first and early second centuries C.E.

In this volume, ten renowned scholars discuss internal and external forms of religious identity processing through analysis of early Jewish and early Christian sources.” (From the Publishers).
