'Finding the Frontier in Late Antiquity' seeks to understand how Greco-Roman thinking about the geographic frontier evolved during late antiquity. This project will pursue three case studies each examining an apostolic story drawn from the neglected corpus of the early Christian "Apocryphal Acts", in which weird and wonderful travel scenes across vivid frontier landscapes form an integral aspect of their narratives. By using these sources as a lens, we can understand how broader Greco-Roman thought about the geographic frontier developed as they reconciled their perceptions of the "outside" with their new radical Christian ideas.

《在古代晚期发现边疆》试图了解希腊-罗马关于地理边疆的思想是如何在古代晚期演变的。这个项目将进行三个案例研究，每个案例研究一个使徒的故事，这个故事来自被忽视的早期基督教“杜撰行为”的语料库，在这些故事中，奇怪而奇妙的旅行场景穿越生动的边疆风景形成了他们叙事的一个组成部分。通过使用这些来源作为一个镜头，我们可以理解更广泛的希腊罗马思想是如何发展起来的，因为他们协调了他们对“外部”的看法和他们新的激进基督教思想。
