The essays collected in this volume contain the proceedings of acolloquium held in Leuven in December 2018. The overall purpose was tostudy Gnostic and other second- and early third-century Christian textsin search for indications and criteria for determining their place inthe development of early Christian theology. A good deal of attention isgiven to dating and identifying these often anonymous writings, butother aspects are also addressed. The essays illustrate in various waysthat this development was not a uniform process. The many problemsinvolved in studying these texts from such a perspective have broughtsome scholars to question what should be the main focus: the (presumed)original context or their transmission and use by later generations. Thecollection includes essays by P. Foster (Ignatius), C.M. Tuckett (1-2Clement(), J.S. Kloppenborg (the (Didache( and the(Apostolic Constitutions(), J.
