The workshop will stimulate further scholarly discussion on the topic of the emergence and expansion of early Christianity in Asia Minor and Greece in antiquity and provide a final impulse for the publications currently in preparation and focusing on Macedonia, Galatia, the Maeander valley. It will also initiate a consultation for a collective volume edited by C. Breytenbach and C. Zimmermann on the rise of Early Christianity in Attica and Corinthia.
