The canon of writings of the Jewish and Christian Scriptures is regarded as the fundamental authority in Christianity. Even after its finalization and its widespread recognition in the 4th century, however, there existed (and continue to exist today) traditions claiming authority, which lie beyond the canon and which were partly directed against canonical texts, sometimes selecting from and updating them. In a creative reception of Foucault’s concept, these traditions, generally known as “apocryphal,” as well as their expressive forms and communication contexts, can be understood as heterotopias, i.e. as “effective spaces,” serving as “abutments” in late ancient Christianity.These traditions and their functions in the many diverse contexts of religious life are the focus of the Beyond Canon Collaborative Research Group (CRG). Specifically, the Beyond Canon CRG will focus on literary traditions beyond the biblical canon, on their diverse, often material forms of expression and starting points in “lived” and “popular” religion, and on their underestimated significance in the ritual life of the churches. The concept of the “intellectual space of late antiquity” is thereby expanded in the sense of a discourse space that also includes things and practices.This interdisciplinary approach not only promises insights into the rather implicit mechanisms of religious communication and the making of theological knowledge, but it can also make an innovative contribution to general questions of canonical processes and alternative authorities as they are explored in cultural sciences and humanities.

犹太教和基督教经典著作被认为是基督教的根本权威。然而，即使在它最终定稿和它在4世纪得到广泛承认之后，仍然存在(并在今天继续存在)声称权威的传统，这些传统超越了正典，部分是针对规范文本，有时从它们中进行选择和更新。在对福柯概念的创造性接受中，这些传统及其表达形式和交流语境可以被理解为异托邦，即在晚期古代基督教中作为“支撑物”的“有效空间”。这些传统及其在宗教生活的许多不同语境中的功能是超越正典合作研究小组(CRG)的重点。具体地说，Beyond Canon CRG将专注于圣经经典以外的文学传统，它们多样化的、往往是物质形式的表现形式，以及它们在“活的”和“流行的”宗教中的起点，以及它们在教会仪式生活中被低估的重要性。这种跨学科的方法不仅保证了对宗教交流和神学知识的隐含机制的洞察，而且还可以在文化学和人文科学中探索规范过程和替代权威的一般问题上做出创新的贡献。
