In dieser religionsgeographisch angelegten Studie werden die Spuren des frühen Christentums im kilikisch-isaurischen Bergland untersucht. Dabei wird eine bislang wenig beachtete Region ins Zentrum gerückt und auf Basis der kaiserzeitlichen und spätantiken epigraphischen, literarischen und archäologischen Zeugnisse erforscht. Ausgehend von den zahlreichen jüdischen Gemeinden entwickelten sich schon zur Zeit des Paulus die ersten christlichen Gemeinden. In späterer Zeit waren die vielen verschiedenen Märtyrerkulte in den einzelnen Städten von überragender Bedeutung für die Christianisierung der Landschaft. Neben vielen stark lokal verankerten Kulten erfuhren die Heilige Thekla und der Heilige Konon Verehrung in der ganzen Region und waren somit regionale Heilige.Ein dichtes Netz frühbyzantinischer Kirchenbauten, die zum Teil noch heute gut erhalten sind, belegt die umfassende Christianisierung des Gebietes. Unter dem aus Isaurien stammenden Kaiser Zenon wurden die regionalen Kulte in der östlichen Reichshälfte verbreitet. Die vorliegende Untersuchung der Kalykadnos-Region führt das Quellenmaterial zusammen und wertet es erstmals monographisch aus. This study investigates traces of early Christianity in the mountains of Cilicia and Isauria. In this approach, the literary, epigraphic, and archeological evidence today is taken into account to illuminate on the Christianization process in the region of the Kalykadnos Valley. Local and regional martyr cults are particularly brought into focus.

This monograph studies the professionalization of History of religions as an academic discipline in late 19th and early 20th century France and Europe. Its common thread is the work of the French Modernist priest and later Professor of History of religions at the Collège de France, Alfred Loisy (1857-1940), who participated in many of the most topical debates among French and international historians of religions. Unlike his well-studied Modernist theology, Loisy’s writings on comparative religion, and his rich interactions with famous scholars like F. Cumont, M. Mauss, or J.G. Frazer, remain largely unknown. This monograph is the first to paint a comprehensive picture of his career as a historian of religions before and after his excommunication in 1908. Through a contextual analysis of publications by Loisy and contemporaries, and a large corpus of private correspondence, it illuminates the scientification of the discipline between 1890-1920, and its deep entanglement with religion, politics, and society. Particular attention is also given to the role of national and transnational scholarly networks, and the way they controlled the theoretical and institutional frameworks for studying the history of religions.

This is the first full-scale, verse-by-verse commentary on 4 Baruch. The pseudepigraphon, written in the second century, is in large measure an attempt to address the situation following the destruction of the temple in 70 CE by recounting legends about the first destruction of the temple, the Babylonian captivity, and the return from exile. 4 Bruch is notable for its tale about Jeremiah's companion, Abimelech, who sleeps through the entire exilic period. This tale lies behind the famous Christian legend of the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus and is part of the genealogy of Washington Irving's "Rip Van Winkle." Allison's commentary draws upon an exceptionally broad range of ancient sources in an attempt to clarify 4 Baruch's original setting, compositional history, and meaning.
