Since both the archaeological and written evidence are incomplete, a detailed history of the religions, particularly of the Jews in Philadelphia cannot be evaluated sufficiently for the present. Philadelphia is generally presented in the context of the Seven Churches of John or the Seven Letters of Ignatius in studies concerning the history of religions. Similarly the city usually remains unmentioned in collective regional studies on Jews and Pagans. Until and during Late Antiquity, Philadelphia became one of the cities where a gradual transformation of religions was experienced. In this study, a summarized history of the religions of Philadelphia and in its surroundings is given chronologically rather than theologically as well as their fate to the end of Late Antiquity.
