| Description | The Meal with the Dead The historical case study aims at methodological problems connected with interpretation of archeological sources and early Christian literature with regard to social formation and ritualisation within the frame of late Hellenistic period. The main focus are visits of burrial places, enjoying fellowship with burried and sharing in a continued conviviality. It refuses previous attempts to grasp the feast with dead as a kind of eucharist ritual and stress its meaning with regard to the stabilisation of a community of Early Christians. |
