Studia Patristica. Vol. C - Including Papers Presented at the Sixth British Patristics Conference, Birmingham, 5-7 September 2016

This one-hundredth volume of Studia Patristica includes papers

from the Sixth British Patristics conference, held in Birmingham in

September 2016. Thirty-seven contributions from an international range

of scholars provide new studies of many of the major subjects in

patristic studies, from Tertullian to Maximus the Confessor by way of

Origen, John Chrysostom, Jerome and Augustine. One theme of the

conference, which was held in conjunction with the European Research

Council COMPAUL project, was the tradition and reception of the letters

of the Apostle Paul. This is reflected in several papers, including an

examination of patristic evidence for the authorship of Ephesians

and an analysis of exegetical techniques employed in the Greek

catena tradition on Galatians. Two longer contributions,

by plenary speakers Frances Young and Jennifer Strawbridge, offer an

extended consideration of the early Christian exegesis of particular

Pauline Epistles.
