Description
Summary:Discourses about deviance are frequently used to produce mainstream identity andto marginalize others. Yet, to analyze such discourses offers other valuable insights,too. The article analyzes juridical tests, mostly laws from the third to fifthcenturies CE. Which types of religious deviance are criminalized?

Religiousknowledge – its achievement or its lack – is accorded a central role in these contexts.
