The contributions in this volume go back to a conference held in December 2019 at the Faculty of Theology of Humboldt University Berlin. The conference was the initiation of a larger project on “Jews and Christians in the First Three Centuries CE,” jointly organized by Australian Catholic University, which graciously spon- sored the meeting, Catholic University Leuven and Humboldt University Berlin.
We want to thank Konrad Schwarz (Berlin) and Charlotte von Schelling (Re- gensburg) for their cooperation in preparing the manuscript, including many helpful suggestions which have contributed substantially to the publication of the present volume. Alexandra Priesterath and Janina Skóra did an excellent job in preparing and hosting the Berlin meeting, for which we are very grateful. Last, but not least, we would like to thank the publishing house Walter de Gruyter, especially Alice Meroz and Sabina Dabrowski, for friendly and reliable collaboration during the publication process.
