Robes, Romans, and Rituals in First Corinthians
This thesis offers a novel interpretation of 1 Cor 11:2–16 in light of the Roman ritual practice of capite velato—a custom of covering the head with a garment during prayer, sacrifice, and divination. It traces linguistic and conceptual links between ancient descriptions and depictions of capite velato and 1 Cor 11:2–16, and demonstrates that this ritual gesture must have been familiar to Paul and his Corinthian interlocutors. With the aid of cognitive science of religion, this thesis explores the possible reasons for and implications of Paul’s instructions on this Roman custom in First Corinthians. It argues that 1 Cor 11:2–16 preserves a clash of values between Paul and his addre...
The Episcopate and the Parting of the Ways
I denna avhandling analyseras användningen av termen episkopos och besläktade termer i kristna texter mellan 60 och 180 e.v.t. Kategorier från social identitetsteori relaterade till ledarskap -- såsom prototypikalitet, identitetsentreprenörskap, identitetsproduktion och identitetsfrämjande -- indikerar att det framväxande biskopsämbetet inom de kristna grupperna spelade en betydande roll i utvecklingen av en specifikt kristen identitet. Viktiga texter från Nya testamentet (Filipperbrevet, Apostlagärningarna, 1 Petrusbrevet och Pastoralbreven) och icke-kanoniska skrifter (Didache, Hermas Herden, 1 Klemensbrevet, Ignatiusbreven och Irenaeus Mot Heresierna, bok tre) undersöks. Alla d...
Revenge, Compensation, and Forgiveness in the Ancient World
Handling moral infringement is complicated and this was as true in antiquity as it is today. Should one retaliate, demand compensation, be merciful, ignore the infringement, or forgive? Thomas Kazen and Rikard Roitto compare how Greeks, Romans, Jews, and Christians in antiquity navigated different ideas, practices, and rituals for moral repair. How did they think about morality and did this affect ideas about moral repair? What practices of moral repair did they use, within and beyond the court? In what different ways did they involve the gods in interpersonal conflicts through ritual? Insights from contemporary research on human behaviour guide the comparative work, since, as the authors argue, human moral behaviour and cognition is the result of both innate and cultural factors.
