| Sumario: | Based on the epigraphic remains and the testimonies of the historiographical, hagiographical and legal sources –civil laws and conciliar acts– we reconstruct the religious life of the Roman-Nabataean city of Zoora. We start from its place in the biblical tradition and its subsequent place in the Christian tradition as a pilgrimage destination, and then look at the echo and impact of the great theological disputes of the time, with special attention to the Council of Chalcedon (451). Special attention is given to the epitaphs that allow us to deal with the active role of women in this Christian community and the existence of a college of deaconesses. Finally, attention is paid to the influence of Judaism and traditional Nabataean religion in the construction of the Christian identity of Zoora. |
