Description - Constructing Early Christian Families by Halvor Moxnes
The family is a topical issue for studies of the Ancient world as family, household and kinship had different connotations in antiquity from their modern ones. This volume expands that discussion to investigate the early Christian family structures within the larger Graeco-Roman context. Particular emphasis is given to how family mataphors such as "brotherhood" function to describe relations in early Christian communities. Asceticism and the rejection of sexuality are considered in the context of Christian constructions of the family.
