e Bible in Early
Christianity
One of the most exciting—though by no
means uncontroversial—academic developments in church history during the past
century has been the renaissance of interest in early Christian biblical scholarship.
This lecture will sketch the origins of modern interest in this topic, identify leading
trends in research today, and discuss some
of the most promising prospects for future
research.
Peter Martens specializes in the
exegetical cultures that emerged
around the Christian Bible in late
antiquity. He is the author of Origen
and Scripture (Oxford University
Press, 2012) and is currently completing an edition and translation of
Adrian’s Introduction to the Divine
Scriptures (Oxford University Press).
