The aim of the conference, to be held at Exeter University from 5-7 September 2012, is to foster the study of early Christianity broadly considered in its social, historical and theological contexts and to cultivate a community of scholars of the subject in Britain. We particularly welcome participation by current graduate students studying at British Universities.
