1. 1. Christ’s Associations

   Connecting and Belonging in the Ancient City

   

   This study situates the earliest Christ-groups within the landscape of Greco-Roman voluntary associations, showing how their membership practices, leadership, finances, communal meals, benefaction, and rules closely resembled other civic clubs, cult groups, and collegia. Drawing on epigraphic, papyrological, and archaeological evidence, it maps how these assemblies forged belonging and social capital in the ancient city while negotiating public visibility, legal status, and relations with patrons and local authorities. The result reframes their distinctiveness as a matter of adaptation rather than isolation, highlighting the ordinary institutional forms that underwrote their growth.
