All the essays in this volume seek to bring out how acts of reception contribute to the social formation of early Christianity, in its social imagination (its speech and thought about itself) or in its social practices, or both. This volume challenges static notions of tradition and passive ideas of ‘reception’, stressing creativity and the significance of ‘strong’ readings of tradition. It thus complicates standard narratives of ‘the parting of the ways’ between ‘Christianity’ and ‘Judaism’, showing how even claims to continuity were bound to make the same different.
