DunningPhiladelphia University of Pennsylvania Pressc20111 online resource (263 p.) Divinations : rereading late ancient religionBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-8122-4307-2 Includes bibliographical references and index.The many become one : theological monism and the problem of the female body -- Desire and the feminine : Clement of Alexandria's displacement of Eve -- What sort of thing is this luminous woman? : sexual dimorphism in on the origin of the world -- Virgin earth, virgin birth : Irenaeus of Lyons and the predicaments of recapitulation -- The contrary operation : resignifying the unpenetrated body in Tertullian of Carthage.The first Christians operated with a hierarchical model of sexual difference common to the ancient Mediterranean, with women considered to be lesser versions of men. Yet sexual difference was not completely stable as a conceptual category across the spectrum of formative Christian thinking. Rather, early Christians found ways to exercise theological creativity and to think differently from one another as they probed the enigma of sexually differentiated bodies.In Specters of Paul, Benjamin H. Dunning explores this variety in second- and third-century Christian thought with particular attention to the ways the legacy of the apostle Paul fueled, shaped, and also constrained approaches to the issue. Paul articulates his vision of what it means to be human primarily by situating human beings between two poles: creation (Adam) and resurrection (Christ). But within this framework, where does one place the figure of Eve-and the difference that her female body represents?Dunning demonstrates that this dilemma impacted a range of Christian thinkers in the centuries immediately following the apostle, including Clement of Alexandria, Irenaeus of Lyons, Tertullian of Carthage, and authors from the Nag Hammadi corpus. While each of these thinkers attempts to give the difference of the feminine a coherent place within a Pauline typological framework, Dunning shows that they all fail to deliver fully on the coherence that they promise. Instead, sexual difference haunts the Pauline discourse of identity and sameness as the difference that can be neither fully assimilated nor fully ejected-a conclusion with important implications not only for early Christian history but also for feminist and queer philosophy and theology.Divinations.WomenReligious aspectsChristianityHistory of doctrinesEarly church, ca. 30-600Sex differencesReligious aspectsChristianityHistory of doctrinesEarly church, ca. 30-600Ancient Studies.Religion.Religious Studies.WomenReligious aspectsChristianityHistory of doctrinesSex differencesReligious aspectsChristianityHistory of doctrines233/.5Dunning Benjamin H1467606MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788579803321Specters of Paul3678331UNINA05361nam 2200613 450 991080976830332120230725052645.01-118-21021-2(CKB)3400000000021172(EBL)819129(OCoLC)778339071(SSID)ssj0000614506(PQKBManifestationID)12204959(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000614506(PQKBWorkID)10604401(PQKB)11533669(MiAaPQ)EBC819129(EXLCZ)99340000000002117220160408h20102010 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrPractitioner's guide for statistics and lean six sigma for process improvement /Mikel J.
