The Brill Encyclopedia of Early Christianity (BEEC) focuses on the history of early Christianity, covering texts, authors, and ideas. The BEEC aims both to provide a critical review of the methods used in Early Christian Studies and also to update the history of scholarship. The BEEC addresses a range of traditions, including iconographic, martyrological, ecclesiastical, and Christological traditions, as well as cultic phenomena, such as the veneration of saints. The history of the transmission of texts and the attention to recent scholarship will play an important role.
The BEEC focuses on early Christianity from a historical perspective in order to uncover the lasting legacy of the authors and texts until the present day. Its content is intended to bridge the gap between the elds of New Testament studies and patristics, covering the whole period of early Christianity up to 600 CE.
Currently only 330 articles are available. The encyclopedia will consist of about 1300 articles. Every year about 300 articles will be added until planned competion in 2022. Once the online version is completed the encyclopedia will become available in print in 6 volumes.
