Abstract

Drawing on William Johnson's studies on the Sociology of Reading in Antiquity, this study aims to reconstruct in broad outline how the Gospels were read in the period from the composition of the first Gospel to Justin's account of their reading in the communities of Rome (70-150). After a brief presentation of the model and the data on this practice in the period in question, it examines five factors: (1) the type of text being read; (2) the context or situation in which it is read; (3) the reading community; (4) the cultural tradition in which the reading is inscribed; and (5) the identity of the reader. The study concludes with some reflections on the impact of this practice on the initial consolidation of Christianity.
