This presentation examines the role of biblical quotation patterns and clusters in shaping knowledge production in early Christian literature. It explores two key methodological aspects: (1) the relevance of quotation culture principles to non-narrative texts such as treatises, homilies, and commentaries, and (2) the potential benefits and challenges of applying network and social network analysis to the study of these patterns. The discussion is grounded in a case study of Origen of Alexandria, highlighting how such approaches can enhance understanding of ancient Christian biblical exegesis.
