| Popis | The paper reconsiders the influence of the Jewish heritage in the spread of early Christianity throughout the Greco-Roman Mediterranean. Following the new dating of Lukan writings up to the first half of the 2nd century (Pervo 2006), it assumes Marcionite Christianity to be a contemporaneous Christian trend using other networks for its spreading than that of Luke. Despite weak evidence, it is obvious that these two trends maintained different attitudes to the Jewish background. This paper tries to design models using Jewish diaspora networks (Collar 2013) for Lukan Christianity, which remained open to the Jewish tradition, and trade and maritime networks for Marcionite Christianity, which might use the infrastructure provided by its founder´s shipping company. Critical evaluation of these models can help solve the question to what extent the spread of Christianity was influenced by the Jewish diaspora networks and how other networks may have been employed in this process. |
