Scholars analyze texts from both orthodox and heretical authors.

The field employs textual analysis, archaeology, and historical criticism to analyze early Christianity's doctrinal, cultural, and intellectual development, incorporating traditions beyond Greek and Latin, such as Syriac, Coptic, Armenian, and Ethiopian.

Ley Trans
The ''Ley Trans'' (lit. 'Trans Law') is a 2023 law that permits gender self-identification in Spain. The law allows individuals to change their legal sex, with differing levels of approval required based on their age. People older than 16 years can solicit this change by themselves, while those aged 14 to 16 years may solicit this change only with the approval of their parents. Those aged 12 and 13 may also solicit a legal sex change with judge approval. The law does not allow people to switch to a non-binary gender, which does not exist in Spanish law. However, it does ban efforts to change people's gender expression, sexual orientation or sexual identity through conversion therapy. Background The Andalusian autonomous government passed a gender self-identification (self-ID) law as early as 2014. It was proposed by the ''Asociación de Transexuales de Andalucía (ATA) Sylvia Rivera''. 15 other Spanish autonomous communities passed self-ID laws before the Ley Trans was passe ...
