Frend).1 As introduction to the proceedings of the Seventeenth International Conference on Patristic Studies, held at Oxford in August 2015, we chose three papers, given at the launch of the publication of the 2011 proceedings in October 2013. This was the first book launch in the history of Studia Patristica, but with a Conference that had been going strong since its beginnings in 1951, with 70 volumes published within almost 60 years, we considered that the time was ripe for both a small celebration and a critical reflection of how far we had come. In this first short contribution, as current editor of Studia Patristica, the series in which the proceedings have appeared from the start, I would like to give an insight into how I see the nature of this series and the service its editor tries to provide to the Conference and to colleagues and friends in the field. In a second paper, Frances Young looks back at her early experience of the Conference and the proceedings when she was still a post-graduate student. How different was the meeting (and its published papers) then, from the one in the year 2003 for which she had become Chair of the Directors and was involved in editing Studia Patristica? In a third paper Mark Edwards develops ideas that he presented viva voce at the occasion of the book launch on ‘the achievements and limitations of patristic scholarship’, particularly in the UK, but with relevance further afield. Having co-responsibility for the setting up of the International Conference on Patristic Studies at the University of Oxford, and bearing responsibility for the editing process of Studia Patristica represent forms of asceticism, detachment and humility. This joint role means receiving abstracts, in the hundreds – and this time close to one thousand –, which the directors have to assess and quite often refer back for clarifications; and initiating and calling for others to complement under-represented areas and get the content structure of the Conference into shape. For the editor, the real task begins when the papers have been delivered at the Conference event. Papers developed into articles come in, 1 SP 53 (‘Former Directors’) (2013). Studia Patristica LXXV, 3-9. © Peeters Publishers, 2017. 4 m. Vinzent this time close to 700, their authors having taken account of questions and answers, conversations during the sessions and, often more importantly, at informal meetings. Each contribution reveals the breadth and depth of what the editor does not yet know, should have looked up and could have remembered or read about. Reading unpublished research is exciting, challenging and humbling at the same time. The reading is an invitation to embark on an enormous learning curve and, therefore, the best training course one can get. One bears the responsibility to read critically, to discern between sound ideas, innovative perspectives or, sometimes, hardly sustainable claims, and still to try first to get into the mind of the author, even if the proposed article is not yet in its final form or shape. Getting back to authors with questions, notes and suggestions is the striking of a balance between being an interested reader, but without becoming an interlocutor with a vested research interest of one’s own. I am not sure whether I always get this balance right, but editing is certainly a fascinating academic task, and one of the most rewarding. Who dares to edit Studia Patristica has to acknowledge the vision, the work, and the achievements of the founders of both the Oxford International Conference on Patristic Studies and the first editors of the series of its proceedings. As Elizabeth Livingstone reports in her contribution to the mentioned volume on ‘Former Directors’, F.L. Cross (1900-1968),2 the then Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity in the University of Oxford, and Canon of Christ Church since 1944, was able to get Professor Kurt Aland (1915-1994) to sign as coeditor for volumes one and two of Studia Patristica, the first of which appeared in 1955, four years after the first Conference had been held. Both scholars have been, are still, and, as far as can be projected, will remain programmatic for the entire series. Both represent the post-war endeavour to re-build bridges between the Continent and the British Isles; between East and West, within Europe and beyond; between Anglicanism, Protestantism (in all its variations), Catholicism and Orthodoxy; between academics, clerics, independent scholars and people interested in Patristics – let me call them lay scholars. Yet, there is another bridge that Cross and Aland represent and which has been core to the Conference and to Studia Patristica, namely its interdisciplinarity. Cross, who studied Philosophy and Theology at Oxford, Marburg and Freiburg, was so impressed by one of his academic teachers at Freiburg, the Jewish philosopher Edmund Husserl, that he decided to write his philosophy doctorate on him. When he defended his thesis in Oxford in 1930, Cross could not know, of course, that another pupil of Husserl, namely Martin Heidegger, who was to become rector of Freiburg University, would during the Nazi period play a crucial role in removing Husserl from his academic position. Cross’ interdisciplinarity was a combination not only of Theology and Philosophy, but 2 See T.M. Parker, ‘Frank Leslie Cross 1900–1968’, in Proceedings of the British Academy 55 (1969), 369-75. Editing Studia Patristica 5 also of New Testament Studies and Patristics. Before organising the First International Conference on Patristic Studies Oxford, he had already organised international New Testament congresses. In this he was like Kurt Aland, the scholar who took over from Eberhard Nestle the publication of the critical edition of the Greek New Testament and was founder of the famous Münster Institute for New Testament Textual Research (now directed by Professor Holger Strutwolf, a student of Professor Martin Ritter, Heidelberg). Cross and Aland wrote important studies on the New Testament and early Christian topics. The two scholars remind us of the fact pointed out by the late Martin Hengel in his ‘A Young Theological Discipline in Crisis’3 that ‘“New Testament Studies” was still a young discipline’, as it had ‘only had its own chairs since the last third of the nineteenth century’.4 In his inaugural lecture of 1999, Larry Hurtado pointed out that most contributions to NT studies, well into the early 20th century, ‘were by scholars in OT, Systematic Theology’,5 and, as Hengel remarked, ‘above all church historians’.6 To underline the interdisciplinarity of Patristics, I could also add the history of my own chair at King’s, where the Professor of Ecclesiastical History in the 1920s, Claude Jenkins, also lectured on Patristic Texts; and when, in 1930, Randolph Vincent Greenwood Tasker, who had already been Lecturer in Exegesis of the New Testament, lectured on Patristic Texts, he combined two roles, which he maintained even after WWII, when he was promoted to Professor in both fields. Similarly, in 1948 Professor Robert Victor Sellers became Professor of both Biblical and Historical Theology. From the outset, therefore, Studia Patristica was intended to be a broad church, allowing for highly specialised, pastoral and interdisciplinary studies in Patristics, and also to be a springboard for young scholars to present their papers – sometimes their first papers – for publication. It is inspiring to read that in preparation of ‘each Conference he [Cross] went touring [around] Europe to find out what were the trends that were surfacing in Patristic scholarship and who had interesting ideas’.7 We have done and will continue to do whatever is possible to achieve similar goals. Today, of course, we have additional means – the Web, the Internet – but we still try to tour the globe as much as possible and to use all means to catch new approaches, concepts and ideas and, especially, to encourage young scholars to come to Oxford and present their findings. When we read, then, that Cross ‘conducted a huge correspondence’, 3 Michael F. Bird and John Maston (eds), Earliest Christianity: History, Literature, and Theology. Essays from the Tyndale Fellowship in Honor of Martin Hengel (Tübingen, 2012), 459-71. 4 Ibid. 459. 5 Larry W.

Vinzent ‘took advice on some papers’, ‘made his own decisions’, and was ‘editing where necessary and reading and sending out proofs’, he was not only a pioneer in the field of peer reviewing, but left us another legacy, which became a hallmark of his successor as editor of Studia Patristica, Dr Elizabeth Livingstone, namely to sustain an intensive cooperation between editor and author as between partners, and only occasionally act as decision maker. As the longest serving editor Dr Livingstone would be better placed to talk about her own experiences over the many years in which she edited the volumes 12 to 33. I myself remember her kind letter with my first submission, fully annotated not only with editorial comments, but also with very helpful scholarly remarks to get a young scholar ready for publication. It was during Dr Livingstone’s term as editor that Studia Patristica moved to the present publisher, Peeters Publishers in Leuven, who have added the weight of their name to the series. Peeters is one of the most respected publishing houses in the wider field of the study of religion in antiquity, with flagships such as Le Muséon and hundreds of other series, journals and numerous monographs. For Studia Patristica it is invaluable to have a personally dedicated family business as a backbone, interested not only in the economic side of publishing, but also in the meticulous editorial process of the content we publish. They provide a warm, responsive and never tiring maintenance of relations with authors, editors and directors, most visible in the dedicated in-house editor, Bert Verrept, and behind him a production team that fully understands how to edit such a complex series as Studia Patristica, dealing for example with numerous fonts, such as Greek, Syriac, Coptic, Armenian, Georgian, Ethiopian, Gothic, and Arabic. Moreover, in addition to their experience and tradition, Peeters is a publishing partner with a forward-looking and entrepreneurial spirit, who gave an immediate positive response to two more recent innovative ideas – the broadening of Studia Patristica to incorporate not only contributions to the International Conference on Patristic Studies Oxford, but also contributions to other Patristic gatherings8 and specifically invited papers not held at these venues, and to start a monograph series Studia Patristica Supplements to allow for the publication of comprehensive studies. 8 So Studia Patristica 50 (2009), including papers presented at the National Conference on Patristic Studies held at Cambridge in the Faculty of Divinity under Allen Brent, Thomas Graumann and Judith Lieu in 2009, ed. by Allen Brent, Thomas Graumann, Judith Lieu and Markus Vinzent; Studia Patristica 51 (2011), including papers presented at the Conference ‘The Image of the Perfect Christian in Patristic Thought’ at the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv, Ukraine, under Taras Khomych, Oleksandra Vakula and Oleh Kindiy in 2009, ed. by Taras Khomych, Oleksandra Vakula and Markus Vinzent; Studia Patristica 52 (2012), including papers presented at the British Patristics Conference, Durham, September 2010, edited by Allen Brent and Markus Vinzent; and Studia Patristica 74 (2016), including papers presented at the Fifth British Patristics Conference, London, 3-5 September 2014, ed. by Allen Brent and Markus Vinzent. Editing Studia Patristica 7 The broadening of the series went hand in hand with a critical review by the directors in the year 2009. After the transition from the sole editorship of Dr Livingstone to a varying joint editorship by Edward Yarnold and Maurice Wiles (vols. 34-38), Mark Edwards, Paul M. Parvis and Frances Young (vols. 39-43), Jane Baun, Mark Edwards, Averil Cameron and myself (vols. 44-49), the directors decided neither to give up the series altogether, nor to move it to a purely Internet-based publication of abstracts. Rather, despite the constraints of an ever more demanding, underfunded institutional academic environment, in view of the enormous increase in interest in attending and presenting at the International Conference on Patristic Studies Oxford and in publishing in Studia Patristica, the decision was taken to continue the series in print, and publish the abstracts on the Conference blog.9 While the very first Conference, in 1951, had been attended by 250 people, in 2007 it attracted around 700 scholars. In 2011 the number of participants had reached more than 900, with over 500 papers being presented, and in 2015 we counted almost 1200 people attending, with close to 800 papers delivered. And while interest and numbers have grown, so too have the pressures from the global academic policy-driven machinery for peer reviewed publications. Contrary to the trend towards anonymous peer reviewing, the directors decided to continue a transparent system of collegiality and partnership, in which the editor carries the burden of telling authors not only the good news, but also the bad, in cases where papers are rejected by the peer reviewing fellow directors, and in which authors whose papers are accepted get to know and can even exchange information with the editor or with their peer reviewers, in order to improve their submissions. In almost all successful cases, submissions are returned to their authors with at least minor suggestions for corrections and improvements, and in many cases, authors are asked to substantially revise them. In each situation, they are given detailed, encouraging comments both in the margins and in the correspondence, so that the series strives to be at the forefront of Patristic Studies. Not every article, of course, aims to be, or will become the standard reference for its particular topic, but as with every publishing process, no editor knows in advance which of the contributions will be the novelty that will stand out in the nearer future and endure in the long run. Yet, in the absence of a citation index for Patristics, a brief look at journals in our field proved that what has been published in the past has had and continues to have an impact on further studies. To give one example: looking through the volume of Vigiliae Christianae, published by Brill in Leiden in 2012, we see quoted articles by J. Patout Burns on Augustine, published in Studia Patristica 22 of 1989, by Basil Studer on Origenism from as far back as Studia Patristica 9 of 1966, Sebastian Brock’s study on Ephrem, published in Studia Patristica 33 of 1997, Graham Gould on Pachomian monasticism from Studia Patristica 30 of 1997, J. McW. Dewart 9 See <http://oxfordpatristics.blogspot.co.uk/>. 8 m. Vinzent on the Pelagian Controversy, published in Studia Patristica 17 of 1982, Maurice Wiles on Nicaea, from Studia Patristica 26 of 1991 and D.F. Wright on Julian Apostata, an article only recently published in Studia Patristica 39 of 2006. Seven articles in only one volume of Vigiliae Christianae indicates the presence and impact that our series has on current scholarship, let alone the vital exchange that is being initiated or enriched by the four-yearly gathering of hundreds of scholars in Oxford, now also supported by both the Conference website and its blog, to which almost a hundred readers have already subscribed. One of the most recent innovations in editing Studia Patristica has been the introduction of smaller special thematic volumes. In 2013 we had nine such volumes: on ‘Former Directors’, ‘Biblical Quotations in Patristic Texts’, ‘Early Monasticism and Classical Paideia’, ‘Rediscovering Origen’, ‘Evagrius Ponticus on Contemplation’, ‘Neoplatonism and Patristics’, ‘Early Christian Iconographies’, ‘New Perspectives on Late Antique Spectacula’ and ‘The Holy Spirit and Divine Inspiration in Augustine’; another is to follow on Lactantius, to appear with the articles of the 2015 Conference here. This development was the logical consequence of the directors’ more rigorous designing, planning and mapping of international thematic workshops – entailing longer, more specific and more detailed papers, which in the past had been mostly restricted to plenary lectures and had often been published outside Studia Patristica. Giving those workshops a publishing platform within Studia Patristica, in co-editorship with their conveners, has provided the series with a substantial increase in shared responsibility within the scholarly community, a breadth of themes, interdisciplinarity and a higher number of volumes. In addition, several workshops, the contributions of which did not account for a full special volume, have been included in other volumes, still with co-editors, introductions and even responses to articles, as in the case of ‘Tertullian and Rhetoric’, edited by Willemien Otten as part of Studia Patristica 65. When, in 1997, I was asked to give a paper on the last day of the Conference in parallel to Archbishop Rowan Williams’ lecture, I gladly accepted, not through any aspiration to be a competitor to the speaker in the parallel slot, but to reflect about the nature of our Conference. In this yet unpublished paper on ‘Postcolonial Patristics’ I noted the then still Eurocentric-American presence and the lack of postcolonial, gender-, socio-anthropological, literary and reception studies at the Conference, compared to the growth of Patristics around the Pacific Rim, in Asia, Africa and Latin America. And although we are still far from mirroring these new trends, we are thankful that scholars from all continents have joined us and that workshops like ‘Patristic Studies in Latin America’, ‘Foucault and the Practice of Patristics’, and ‘The Genres of Late Antique Literature’ have found special entries in Studia Patristica 62, and that the section ‘Nachleben’ in Studia Patristica 69 opens with a paper from Argentina. At the same time, despite these innovations, the old roots are not neglected – especially the Editing Studia Patristica 9 international presence of languages other than English. As a non-native speaker myself, I know the familiarity that a congress breathes when papers are given in German, as others will feel when they can speak or listen to French, Italian or Spanish. With about 10% of all articles in the 2013 series being non-English, we are not disappointed, but can surely encourage more colleagues to give their papers and submit their publications in languages other than English. Finally, a word of thanks – without students, colleagues, speakers and authors; without past and present fellow directors, the latter being also peer reviewers; without the tremendous work behind and at the scene by the Conference organising company, especially Priscilla Frost and Richard Hart, and the Publishers, especially the Peeters brothers and Bert Verrept; without the support of the faculty of Theology and Religious Studies in the University of Oxford with all its colleges, and our own institutions; but most of all, without our families and friends who contribute to, encourage and stimulate our research, we would not be where we are with the Conference and Studia Patristica.
