Interview on 'Resetting Christian Origins' (CUP)

For all those interested in this recent book of mine, I have given an interview to Jonathon Lookadoo. My host is Associate Professor at the Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary in Seoul, South Korea. While his interests range widely over the world of early Christianity, he is the author of books on the Epistle of Barnabas, Ignatius of Antioch, and the Shepherd of Hermas, including The Christology of Ignatius of Antioch (Cascade, 2023).

Being a scholar of early Christian studies himself, it was great to talk to him and answer his questions at New Books Network / New Books in Biblical Studies, under the following link: Markus Vinzent, "Resetting the Origins of Christianity: A New Theory of Sources and Beginnings" (Cambridge UP, 2022) - New Books Network

Resonant self-world relations in antiquity and modernity

Lucky to have got two major fundings for the study of 'Resonant Self-World Relations in Antiquity and Modernity', I am glad to be involved with the Max-Weber-Centre for Advanced Social and Cultural Studies at Erfurt University which now was granted to create a new research building for this specific research area (financed by the BMBF German government) and, in addition, was able to get a bilateral funding from the DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) and the Austrian Science Foundation to establish an international Graduate School in this field.

The Graduate School has now produced a series of 10 short videos where my colleagues and me are setting out the research agenda and also the Graduate School itself.

The next step will we to apply for further grants, in order to support the research itself for which we now were given the most incredible research infrastructure.
