Andrew M. Langford

Diagnosing Deviance (eBook, PDF)

Pathology and Polemic in the Pastoral Epistles

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In this study, Andrew M. Langford demonstrates that the single, post-Pauline author of the Pastoral Epistles ('the Pastor?) crafts a stigmatizing depiction of his theological opponents by spatializing, demonizing, and pathologizing their alleged deviance. Through close comparative readings of ancient medical and philosophical literature, the author argues for the necessity of interpreting the Pastor's pathologizing of deviance in light of ancient disease etiologies and models of corporeality. With this book, the author contributes to recent interpretive insights about the function of authorial fiction in antiquity and demonstrates that the Pastor is self-consciously appropriating the Pauline epistolary to craft his approach to his theological opponents. Born 1983; PhD, University of Chicago Divinity School; currently instructor at the University of Oregon and ordained pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America.
