Over the past two decades, globalisation theories have come to play an increasingly prominent role in the study of the Roman world. At this international conference, organised jointly by the Protestant Theological University and the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität, we explore the use of these theories for the study of ancient Judaism and early Christianity within their Roman contexts. The conference will take place in Münster (Germany). Enquiries can be directed at Bärry Hartog. Barry Hartog Lecturer in Ancient Judaism 088-3371727p.b.hartog@pthu.nl
