| Summary: | Between the first and fourth centuries C.E. networks of like-minded individuals who shared certain religious beliefs and practices developed in both Jewish and Christian society. These networks emerged in the context of Roman imperialism which connected, integrated, and to some extent homogenized the various sectors of the population through road connections, infrastructure, and Romanization.

This study compares rabbinic and Christian leaders’ networking activities within the shared Roman imperial context of the first centuries C.E. |
