Memory and Memories in Early Christianity ― Proceedings of the International Conference Held at the Universities of Geneva and Lausanne; June 2-3, 2016

The 13 papers--seven in English--discuss memory studies and nascent Christianity: challenges, approaches, and problems; memory, authority, and modalities (personal, ritual, textual, etc.); memory, identity, and the construction of origins; and early Christianity, memory, and theology. Among the topics are frozen moments: early Christianity through the lens of social memory theory, memory and memories in early Christianity: the remembered Jesus as a test case, the transformation of collective memory in early Christianity as reflected in the letters of Paul, and reinventing Christian origins: competing conceptions in the Christianity of the second century.
