Abstract

The Roman colony of Philippi is the site upon which Paul founded his first European congregation. There, he encountered a political entity which bore the stamp of Roman culture through and through. Part I describes Philippi's political and religious situation based on numismatic, epigraphical, archaeological and literary sources. Part II reconstructs the relationship between Paul, the congregation, and the city of Philippi, and demonstrates the influence which the Roman environment exerted on the church's organization and preaching. The work reaches the conclusion that the Philippean community assumed an active and self-confident role in implementing its mission. In so doing, it clashed with the Roman authorities and their insistence upon a religious praxis that did not call into question the principles or existence of the Roman State. The book contributes to the interpretation of the Epistle to the Philippians as well as to the history of early Christianity and the history of Religions during the first century.

Abstract

"This volume provides a review of recent research in Philippi related to archaeology, demography, religion, the New Testament and early Christianity. Careful reading of texts, inscriptions, coins and other archaeological materials allow the reader to examine how religious practice in Philippi changed as the city moved from being a Hellenistic polis to a Roman colony to a center for Christian worship and pilgrimage. The essays raise questions about traditional understandings of material culture in Philippi, and come to conclusions that reflect more complicated and diverse views of the city and its inhabitants. Contributors are Cédric Brélaz, Katerina Chryssanthaki-Nagle, Cavan Concannon, Sofia Doukata-Demertzi, Michael Flexsenhar III, Steven Friesen, Emmanuela Gounari, Haido Koukouli-Chryssanthaki, Dimitra Malamidou, Aristoteles Mentzos, Laura Nasrallah, Peter Oakes, Melina Paissidou, Natalia Poulou, Jennifer Quigley, Athanasios Rizakis, Daniel N.
