Abstract
In order to assess the generality of the collective memory concept and to underwrite discussion of its applicability to studies of early Christianity, this essay traces the development of “collective memory” from its origins in the crucible of the modern nation-state and as a tool for the disciplines that address that social form—mainly sociology and contemporary history. On that basis, the paper outlines a “practice” approach to collective memory, emphasizing the multiplicity and variability of mnemonic practices and products.
