Abstract
Considering the development of early Christian intellectual life may thus draw on modern discussions of ‘the intellectual’ but must be rooted in awareness of the particular conditions of ancient intellectual traditions, and in the peculiarities of Christian belief. The papers in this volume resulted from a seminar hosted by the Australian Catholic University in Rome during the summer of 2016. The goal of the seminar was to explore the emergence of Christian intellectual life during the second century.The participants proceeded by considering, the early Christian intellectual not in the abstract,but by exploring different facets of Christian intellectual life over what we might consider a ‘long second century’, stretching from the writing of ‘John’s’ Apocalypse through to Clement of Alexandria in the early third century (and one paper looks even beyond this to Eusebius).
