Focusing on the role of associations in early Christianity, this collection showcases Richard Ascough's significant contributions over two decades. It features sixteen previously published articles, organized into three sections: examining associations as models for Christ groups, the dynamics of recruitment between them, and key aspects of group life such as communal meals and memorial practices. A new introduction provides context, enhancing the understanding of how inscriptions and papyri inform the development of Christ groups in the first and second centuries.
