Hello-- I'm having a bit of difficulty phrasing what I want, so I hope this makes sense. I'm looking for works that examine the importance of taking a Christian name, either upon conversion or baptism and the significance of this act to one's own sense of Christian identity, and the sense of the community as well. I'd like something that traces it back to Saul/Paul, and maybe even looks hypothetically at the addition of "Christ" to Jesus' name. The focus of the work(s) would have to, of course, be medieval, as I am looking at instances of conversion in medieval literature. Thanks, Ron Ganze University of Oregon %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
