The next lecture in our s eries features Heidi Wendt, associate professor of religions of the Grec o-Roman world with a joint appointment with the Departments of History a nd Classical Studies at McGill University.

This lecture proposes a novel, working hypothesis of the socio-material conditions driving earl y Christian collecting, compositional, and interpretive habits in the la tter part of the second century. Integrating recent scholarship that con siders Pauline influence on the Gospels with work in classics on the edi torial and authorial logics of collections and miscellany, it situates t he textual practices of so-called Christian intellectuals within the bro ader literary and agonistic intellectual scene of imperial Rome.
