Why did the early Christian movement survive in antiquity? What was distinctive about it – religiously, socially, culturally?

How were the individual Christ groups embedded in the urban centers of antiquity? Why did it become attractive for different actors from virtually all social classes and ethnicities in the Roman Empire? Why was it so off-putting to others? The ECCLESIAE project approaches these ancient and still fascinating questions with a new methodology, creating a vivid picture of the first Christ groups in main
centers of early Christianity: Antioch, Colossae, Ephesus, Philippi, Corinth, and Rome. ECCLESIAE stands for “Early Christian Centers: Local Expressions, Social Identities & Actor Engagement”. The research project is located in the Theological Faculty at the University of Bern (Switzerland), associated with the Theological Faculty at the University of Bonn (Germany) and funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF).
