| Summary: | Der vorliegende Sammelband untersucht literarische Darstellungen von »Anderen«, das heißt Personen und Gruppen, die nicht dem eigenen religiösen und/oder ethnischen Kontext zugerechnet werden können, innerhalb des antiken Judentums und Christentums. In welcher Art und Weise werden diese Anderen präsentiert und welchen Anliegen dient die Auseinandersetzung mit ihnen? Dieser Band achtet dabei besonders auf die methodologischen Herausforderungen in der Auswertung des vielgestaltigen historischen Quellenmaterials und trägt so zu einem vertieften Verständnis der Beziehungen zwischen unterschiedlichen religiösen Gruppierungen in der Antike bei.InhaltsübersichtAlbert I.

In what ways, both positive and negative, do ancient writers interact with and relate to those outside of their ethnicity or religious tradition? This volume devotes itself to the methodological questions surrounding the use of diverse ancient sources for the construction of the other. The goal is to shed new light on ancient interactions between different religious groups in order to describe more accurately these relationships.Survey of contentsAlbert I.
