Andrew Jacobs deposited “Let Him Guard Pietas”: Early Christian Exegesis and the Ascetic Family in the group
Late Antiquity on Humanities Commons 9 years agoOften those Church Fathers most concerned to press the new ascetic elitism of
the fourth and fifth centuries might also produce surprisingly “profamily”
interpretations of biblical texts that otherwise supported an ascetic agenda.
Through analysis of patristic interpretation of Luke 14.26 (an arguably “antifamily”
passage of the New Testame…[Read more] -
Andrew Jacobs deposited ‘Gospel Thrillers’ in the group
Late Antiquity on Humanities Commons 9 years agoDecades before the publishing phenomenon The Da Vinci Code turned millions of readers on to the excitement and glamour of early Christian history and biblical studies, a steady stream of novels—some obscure, some bestsellers were teaching the popular reading public about the thrills and chills of the academic study of Scriptures. These ‘gospel thr…[Read more]

Andrew Jacobs deposited Dialogical Differences: (De-)Judaizing Jesus’ Circumcision in the group
Late Antiquity on Humanities Commons 9 years agoThis essay seeks to rethink the inscription of difference in early Christianity by
focusing on the role of the circumcision of Jesus—a paradigmatically Jewish
mark on the Christian savior’s body—in early Christian “dialogue”-texts
(both external dialogues, such as Justin’s Dialogue with Trypho, as well as
erotapokriseis-texts, here framed as i…[Read more] -

Ellen Muehlberger deposited Ambivalence about the Angelic Life: The Promise and Perils of an Early Christian Discourse of Asceticism in the group
Late Antiquity on Humanities Commons 9 years agoThe equation of the ascetic life with “the angelic life” permeates ancient writing about the renunciatory efforts of Christians; indeed, contemporary scholars often use this same discourse as shorthand for the ascetic movement in Christianity. While the analogy between renunciation and angels began as an inventive exegetical extension of a gospel…[Read more]

Ancient Greece & Rome on Humanities Commons 9 years agoThe re-evaluation of classical education (paideia) recurred throughout the Roman period, reaching a particularly fevered pitch during the late fourth century, as the empire became Christian. The political consequences of Christian learning become particularly clear in the debate between two learned, Latin-speaking Christians who translated Greek…[Read more]

Andrew Jacobs deposited Matters (Un-)Becoming: Conversions in Epiphanius of Salamis in the group
Late Antiquity on Humanities Commons 9 years agoIn this essay, I reconsider early Christian conversion through the writings of Epiphanius of Salamis (d. 404 C.E.). Far from the notion of conversion as an interior movement of soul (familiar from Augustine, A.D. Nock, and William James), Epiphanius shows us a variety of conversions—from lay to clergy, from orthodox to heretic, and from Jew to C…[Read more]

Andrew Jacobs deposited Epiphanius of Salamis and the Antiquarian’s Bible in the group
Late Antiquity on Humanities Commons 9 years agoCompared to more philosophical biblical interpreters such as Origen, Epiphanius of Salamis often appears to modern scholars as plodding, literalist, reactionary, meandering, and unsophisticated. In this article I argue that Epiphanius’s eclectic and seemingly disorganized treatment of the Bible actually draws on a common, imperial style of a…[Read more]
