In late antiquity, Christianity, Judaism and Islam did not yet face each other across oppositional lines. The Christian Apocrypha, the Babylonian Talmud and the Koran all reveal spiritual plurality. How did the formative phases of the religions affect our modern consciousness? With Peter Schäfer, Christoph Markschies and many others.
