This book contains the contributions to a workshop on apologetics in early Christianity which
took place at the Fifteenth International Conference on Patristic Studies in Oxford in the
summer of 2007. The workshop was arranged by scholars from Germany Finland and Denmark who had
for some time worked together in a project on early Christian apologetics. The aim of the
workshop was thus to present and discuss some of the results and still unsolved problems which
arose from this project. The book presents the contributions to the workshop. Hereby the
editors hope to reach a larger audience and thus to be able to further the discussion of the
topic of early Christian apologetics.
