Bernard Doherty is a final year PhD candidate researching the social history of early forms of Christianity, Judaism and indigenous religion in Roman and Byzantine Asia Minor (modern Turkey), focusing particularly on the urban-rural continuum and the impact of geographical and socio-political factors on the survival of religious minorities. In addition to his PhD research Bernard has a key interest in the history of the peoples of the Indian subcontinent from the pre-Vedic periods until the arrival of the Mughals, and in the transmission and expansion of religions along the Silk Road.
