The Brill Encyclopedia of Early Christianity

The Brill Encyclopedia of Early Christianity is a six-volume scholarly work offering a comprehensive overview of early Christianity from its beginnings to 600 CE. It bridges the gap between New Testament studies and patristics, covering authors, texts, ideas, and their reception.

The encyclopedia includes diverse traditions, such as iconographic, martyrological, and Christological traditions, and explores the history of text transmission.

It aims to provide a critical review of methods used in Early Christian Studies and update the history of scholarship.
