By studying Christian, Jewish and other sources that deal with the establishment, modification and deletion of boundaries, the authors seek to create a frame of reference that will in turn explain and contextualise the existing evidence concerning communication and interaction between highly diverse groups in Late Antiquity %L 281/.6309015 %K Syriac Christians %K History %K Judaism %K Relations %K Christianity %K Christianity and other religions %K Hermeneutics %K Religious aspects %9 Text
