Zusammenfassung:The creation of a past for themselves was of pressing importance to religious communities, enabling them to increase their status and legitimise their existence.

The central contention is that the communities produced their narratives (history, hagiography, charter materials) for a specific time and purpose, frequently as a response to or intended resolution of internal or external crises.
