Dai martiri agli imperatori. Il cammino di Paolo Siniscalco nella storia del cristianesimo

This paper draws inspiration from Paolo Siniscalco’s latest book, published in 2019. It seeks to delineate the principal tenets of the scholar’s research, with particular attention to recurring themes in his academic discourse and scientific investigations. These include the “ways” of disseminating Christianity, its expansion towards the East, the dynamics between this religion and political authorities, martyrdom, and the contemporary relevance of Christian studies. The paper also considers some specific aspects of his method, both as a scholar and as a teacher.
