DESCRIPTION:The session will be devoted to the role of scripture\, scriptu
 rality and orality in formation processes in late antiquity. Based on an a
 rticle by Guy Stroumsa ("Early Christianity – A Religion of the Book?")*
  we suggest to discuss some of the following questions in more detail.\n1.
  How important are orality and oral material in the formation of religion\
 , judged from your particular expertise?\n2. To what extent is a particula
 r mediality or a "media revolution"\, as Stroumsa puts it with Doron Mende
 ls\, a crucial factor of formation and spread of a religion?\n3. Do you ag
 ree with Stroumsa's hypothesis of the permeability of oral and written tra
 dition in general? Or do we have a certain degree of "scripturality" and t
 extual stabilization within the first phases of the formation processes?\n
 4. To what extent does the relation of text and commentary influence the f
 ormation of a particular religion?\n5. Do you know about any examples wher
 e text or scripture are an object of material exchange?\n6. And do you kno
 w about contact based receptions of texts in interreligious contexts?\n7. 
 Are there cases where translations were used in the formation or formative
  period of a particular religion?\n8. Do "interreligious" translations exi
 st\, and if they do\, where?\n9. Do you have examples of the emphasis of t
 he role of language in religious formation processes?\n10. Is there any in
 dication of exchange phenomena in handling sacred scriptures or in perform
 ance of scripture?\nWe would invite you all to contribute to the discussio
 n with specific examples from your particular material. If you have any id
 ea and are willing to present a very short input of 5-10 minutes\, based o
 n your material\, you are very welcome. Please send a short e-mail to chri
 stian.frevel@rub.de.\n*Stroumsa\, Guy G. "Early Christianity - A Religion
