Citifying Jesus
The Making of an Urban Religion in the Roman Empire
Book • 2024
Citifying Jesus: The Making of an Urban Religion in the Roman Empire integrates religious studies, archaeology, and spatial theory.
The author aims to re-describe the formation of Christ religion as urban religion.
Spanning almost four centuries of Christian literature from Paul to Augustine, the author shows that several characteristics commonly attributed to Christ religion are, in fact, outcomes of the distinct ways in which religious agents enact urbanity and interact with the urban space.
The study brings the urbanity of religious agents into focus, shedding light on significant elements of religious transformation, innovation, institutionalization, empowerment, and resistance to power.
Simultaneously, it explores the key urban features that shaped the emergence and development of Christ religion.
