This project aims to examine the evidence for competing utopian ideologies in early Christianity, which was a prelude to the later clash with Islam from the seventh century onward. Evidence from pagan-Jewish-Christian conflicts in Late Antiquity (300-650 CE) shows that violent destruction of the past is not exclusive to fringe religious groups. These past conflicts are relevant for understanding the conflict in the Middle East, precisely because analysis of the sources shows that, in intra- and inter-religious conflicts in Late Antiquity in this same geographic region, violent destruction of the past was a propensity in mainstream religion.

这个项目旨在研究早期基督教中相互竞争的乌托邦意识形态的证据，这是从七世纪开始与伊斯兰教发生冲突的前奏。从古代晚期（公元300-650年）异教徒-犹太人-基督徒冲突中得到的证据表明，对过去的暴力破坏并不是边缘宗教团体所独有的。这些过去的冲突对于理解中东的冲突是相关的，正是因为对来源的分析表明，在同一地理区域的晚古时期的宗教内部和宗教之间的冲突中，暴力破坏过去是主流宗教的倾向。
