Ross Kraemer, Professor Emerita in the Department of Religious Studies at Brown University, has been a trailblazer in the areas of women and religion, Jews and Judaism, and earliest Christianity in the ancient Mediterranean. Her astute readings and painstaking analysis of literary, epigraphic, and archaeological evidence demonstrate extensive and rigorous command of the technical scholarship. Furthermore, her relentless reconsideration of inherited models have continually defined and redefined the contours of scholarship in ancient Mediterranean religions. While much of her research focuses on women's religions in the Greco-Roman world, her interests also extend to questions of theory and method in the academic study of religion, cross-cultural and trans-historical studies of women and religion, and religion and modern media. To honor her remarkable contributions, this volume of essays was conceived and produced by students, colleagues, and friends from the total span of her career, bearing witness to the breadth of her own scholarly interests.

Wisdom on the Moveexplores the complexity and flexibility of wisdom traditions in Late Antiquity and beyond. This book studies how sayings, maxims and expressions of spiritual insight travelled across linguistic and cultural borders, between different religions and milieus, and how this multicultural process reshaped these sayings and anecdotes. Wisdom on the Move takes the reader on a journey through late antique religious traditions, from manuscript fragments and folios via the monastic cradle of Egypt, across linguistic and cultural barriers, through Jewish and Biblical wisdom, monastic sayings, and Muslim interpretations. Particular attention is paid to the monastic Apophthegmata Patrum, arguably the most important genre of wisdom literature in the early Christian world.
