In addition to its links with colleagues in traditional centres of scholarship (UK, Europe and North America),the Centre intentionally reaches out via its networks to collea- guesinSouthAfricaandtheAsia–Pacificregion(particularlyJapan,Korea,Rus- sia and South America), resulting since 2004 in fruitful professorial exchanges andmutuallysuccessfulgrantsinAustralia,JapanandKorea,aswellascollab- orativeandlinkedresearchprojects.Since2009thefruitsoffocusingthecollec- tiveexpertiseoftheCentreonbroadresearchthemesofcontemporaryrelevance –todate,povertyandcrisismanagement–havebeendemonstratedbythepub- lication of two collected volumes: Prayer and Spirituality in the Early Church, vol.5,PovertyandRiches,eds.GeoffreyD.Dunn,DavidLuckensmeyer,andLaw- rence Cross (Strathfield: St Pauls Publications, 2009); and Ancient Jewish and ChristianTextsasCrisisManagementLiterature:ThematicStudiesfromtheCentre for Early Christian Studies, eds. David Sim and Pauline Allen, LNTS 445 (Lon- don–New York: T&T Clark, 2012). The present volume, which includes a guest contribution by a colleague at the University of Ottawa, constitutes the fruits of collaborative focus on a third topic of current global interest, religious con- flict. Allofthechaptersinthisvolumehavebeensubjectedtopeerreviewandin somecaseschaptershavebeenrevisedonthebasisofreviewers’comments.The fact that the bulk of the volume constitutes the collective research of scholars within a single Centre, however, inevitably results in both strengths and weak- nesses.Firstly,theauthorsinthisvolumeviewreligiousconflictlargelythrough the lens of Christianity,which is an artefactof the Centre’s research focus. Sec- ondly, to our regret the commitments of two members whose research focus is thesecondandthirdcenturiesCEledtotheirwithdrawalfromtheproject,leav- ing a critical gap which Pierluigi Piovanelli kindly agreed to fill.We are deeply grateful to Professor Piovanelli for coming to our rescue at the last minute andexcitedtoincludethecontributionofascholarwhoseinterestsandintellec- tualcuriosityverymuchcoincidewithourown.Thirdly,thereisanunevenfocus on the eastern half of the Mediterranean world, as well as, fourthly, a bias to- wardstheexpressionorstudyofreligiousconflictinorthroughnarrative.Inre- gardtothefirstofthesetwopartialities,thegeographicfocusreflectsthechoices of the contributors. Pauline Allen and Bronwen Neil, in particular, situate their VI Preface researchcomfortablyinbothworlds.Inregardtothesecond,withtheexception of Alan Cadwallader,whose larger project on Chonai (Kolossai) draws on both materialandtextualevidence,andMichaelTheophilos,whoworksattheinter- sectionoftextandartefactinrelationtoSecondTempleJudaismandEarlyChris- tianity – and perhaps Wendy Mayer,whose recent study with Pauline Allen of the churches of late-antique Antioch (mod. Antakya) engaged with archaeolog- icalscholarship–thebulkofthemembersoftheCentreforEarlyChristianStud- ies are trained primarily in the interpretation (and, in some cases, editing) of texts. These constraints shape the character of the volume, but do not, we hope, devalue its contribution. It remains a testament to the quality of the re- search produced by scholars of the Centre for Early Christian Studies, much of it ground-breaking, and to the wisdom of its Director in bringing together the still largely separate disciplines of New Testament Studies, Patristics, and Late Antiquity.
