The article engages extensively with the question as to why a materialist approach is highly beneficial to early Christian research. At the same time, it deploys a personal understanding of what a materialist approach might mean by setting out an eclectic materialist agenda that blends together different strands of materialisms often considered at odds with each other. In doing this, the paper foregrounds the perspectives carried out by the five articles contained in this monographic issue and aims to show that, their specific hermeneutics notwithstanding, they all belong to a materialist interpretive tradition writ large.

Abstract
The article engages extensively with the question as to why a materialist approach is highly beneficial to early Christian research. At the same time, it deploys a personal understanding of what a materialist approach might mean by setting out an eclectic materialist agenda that blends together different strands of materialisms often considered at odds with each other. In doing this, the paper foregrounds the perspectives carried out by the five articles contained in this monographic issue and aims to show that, their specific hermeneutics notwithstanding, they all belong to a materialist interpretive tradition writ large.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
