The encounter of Eastern Christianity with early Islam /
:
The theme of this book is the early encounters between Christianity and Islam in the eastern provinces of the Byzantine Empire and in Persia from the beginnings of Islam in Mecca to the time of the Abbasids in Bagdad. The contributions in this volume deal with crucial subjects of political and theological dialogue and controversy that characterized the varying responses of the Christian communities in the Byzantine Eastern provinces to the Islamic conquest and its subsequent impact on Byzantine society and history. This volume opens up new research perspectives surrounding the confrontation of Christianity with the early theological and political development of Islam. The present publication emphasizes the importance of the study of the beginnings and the foundations of the relations between the two religions.

From temple to church : destruction and renewal of local cultic topography in late antiquity /
:
Destruction of temples and their transformation into churches are central symbols of late antique change in religious environment, socio-political system, and public perception. Contemporaries were aware of these events' far-reaching symbolic significance and of their immediate impact as demonstrations of political power and religious conviction. Joined in any "temple-destruction" are the meaning of the monument, actions taken, and subsequent literary discourse. Paradigms of perception, specific interests, and forms of expression of quite various protagonists clashed. Archaeologists, historians, and historians of religion illuminate "temple-destruction" from different perspectives, analysing local configurations within larger contexts, both regional and imperial, in order to find an appropriate larger perspective on this phenomenon within the late antique movement "from temple to church".

Studien zur Johannesapokalypse /
:
Die Johannesapokalypse gehört weiterhin zu den geheimnisvollsten Schriften des frühen Christentums, vielleicht der Weltliteratur überhaupt. Tobias Nicklas hat sich in den vergangenen mehr als 20 Jahren intensiv mit diesem Text auseinandergesetzt und lüftet in seinen Beiträgen zu intertextuellen Problemen, zur Bildwelt und Theologie des Texts, aber auch seiner vielfältigen, z.T. hoch problematischen Rezeptionsgeschichte viele seiner Geheimnisse. Der vorliegende Band bietet Studien zur Johannesapokalypse, die in verschiedenen, teilweise schwer zugänglichen Kontexten veröffentlicht wurden, nun in einem neuen Gesamtüberblick. Alle Studien wurden neu durchgesehen und in einem Rückblick auf den neuesten Stand gebracht. So entsteht ein Gesamtüberblick über eine Vielzahl von Problemen der Auslegung der Johannesapokalypse.
