This book is a collection of studies about the fascinating figure of Thecla and the development of her cult in East and West. The volume starts with a series of four studies that trace her cult and its literary manifestations from late Antiquity to Byzantine times. We follow her cult from Asia Minor, through Syria, to Turfan in modern Western China, although the autonomy and uniqueness of Thecla was often suppressed in these new localities. From the East we move to the West where her figure appears in Latin texts and a previously unpublished Arabic version of the 'Acts of Paul and Thecla'. Subsequently, three chapters analyse representations of Thecla in Turkish Ayatekla (ancient Seleucia), in the grotto of St Paul in Ephesus and in Coptic iconography. From the East we then move back to the West, particularly to Spain. Thecla's cult was brought from Asia Minor via Armenia to Tarragona, where it remains alive today. The last two chapters look at the historiographical trajectories of the 'Acts of Paul and Thecla' and the testimonies of the Christian martyrs, respectively. As has become customary, the volume concludes with an extensive bibliography and detailed index--

There are some episodes in the Apocryphal Acts that are reminiscent of contemporary pagan stories of travel and adventure. One of these is the Thecla episode (ATh), from the Acts of Paul. As a story of Christian life, it aims to answer to relevant spiritual questions, such as the nature of Christian belief and the meaning itself of being Christian. In doing so, the Thecla episode follows a path sprinkled with topoi from ancient pagan fiction, with its challenging attitude towards the concept of the possibility of conquering the passions through reason and, in Thecla's case, the ultimate power of faith. In Thecla's Devotion, J.D. McLarty explores the Thecla episode through its intimate connection with paradigms of pagan romance, and walking amidst echoes of narrative sounds and patterns that link plots and fictional effects. In this fascinating book, the role of emotion arises alongside a powerful female leading figure as main features of both kindS of text - ATh and pagan romance - and is deeply investigated with a thorough and gentle touch.
