> In the Greco-Roman world various groups had to negotiate cultural and
> religious space within the empire. Some were official, some tolerated,
> and others illicit. Recent scholarship on the complexity of these
> relationships and interactions has opened up new ways to understand our

> This conference focuses on the intersection of Jews, Greeks, and
> Christians in antiquity. It is an interdisciplinary effort to examine
> this period from different religious, social, philosophical, and
> cultural perspectives. The aim is to deepen our understanding of how
> these three traditions thought of their gods, themselves, and the world
> around them. What did they have to say to one another?
