The essays in this collection explore the diverse character of emerging Christian narratives. From priestly beginnings at the temple in Luke to the enigmatic figure of the cross of light in Acts of John, early Christians found a variety of ways to interpret and express the storylines of Jesus, Mary, and other important figures. By reconfiguring and relocating existing resources of texts and topoi, each of the works examined creates new images and stories within the discursive framework of unique blends of emerging Christian rhetorolects. This volume thus offers readings that attempt to account for this richly creative and complicated process.
