Particolare interesse sarà rivolto a discussioni critiche delle nuove posizioni miticiste che negano l'esistenza di Gesù di Nazareth, a interventi di precisazione metodologica e alla de-costruzione della storia della ricerca in vista di un superamento del paradigma tradizionale a fasi in cui è solitamente scandita ogni presentazione della Leben Jesu Forschung. La unit accoglierà relazioni (20 min + 5 di discussione) tanto a invito quanto dietro call for papers. The unit welcomes papers that move beyond a simplistic literary approach to our sources and aim instead at grasping the historical figure of Jesus in all its political, social and cultural complexity, investigating Jesus' lifestyle, message, religious practices (prayer, fasting, visions, healings and exorcisms) and self-comprehension, within the context of contemporary Judaism (including John the Baptist and his disciples as well as the groups of Jesus' followers). A special focus will be laid on the critical assessment of new mythicist positions denying Jesus' existence, on methodological clarifications and on the deconstruction of the classical 4 phase paradigm articulating almost every presentation of the history of the Leben Jesu Forschung. Papers (20 minutes, plus 5 minute discussion) will be delivered partly on invitation, partly by application and submission of an abstract.

As far as historical sources allow it, we shall attempt instead to identify and describe the multifarious religious practices documented for Jewish and early Christian groups between the 2 nd cent. BCE and the 4 th CE, both in the context of the social formations they developed and as integral part of the wider Graeco-Roman environment. Moving beyond the classical literary and narrative paradigm, scholars are therefore invited to look at texts as complex socio-cultural artifacts and therefore present papers aiming at 'seeing' through texts, and reconstructing baptismal praxis as well as other initiation rituals, banquets as well as cultic meals and gatherings, teaching practices, experiences of contact with the world of numinous power (visions, heavenly journeys, dreams, glossolalic phenomena, divination and prophecy), prayers, dietary habits, healings and exorcisms, funerary rites, and so on. Finally, particular attention will be reserved to discursive modalities through which Jewish and/or proto-Christian religious experiences are re-codified and rendered in cognitive as well as in cultural terms.
