Abstract

The New Testament and other early Christian writings point to leadership roles for women at the same time that they affirm cultural norms of women’s modesty and silence. A Modest Apostle offers a new way of understanding this contradictory evidence for women’s lives. Challenging the view that women leaders were exceptions to the rule or evidence of heretical communities that encouraged women’s participation, the book argues that modesty and leadership were ideals that Roman culture held together. Women were expected to take active roles in the pursuit of familial and community interests, even as they embodied traditional gendered virtues like modesty. Thecla is the book’s central example of how the evidence for Christian women’s leadership may be read against this cultural background. Instead of contrasting Thecla’s story in the Acts of Paul and Thecla with 1 Timothy, the book reads both texts as reflections of complex cultural norms that both restricted and enabled the participation of married and unmarried women in civic and religious life. In its devotion to Thecla, the later church continued to embrace her leadership alongside the modest elements of her character. The book’s approach points to a new way of understanding women in the early church that insists upon the historical reality of women’s leadership without neglecting the effects of the culture’s gender biases.

Abstract

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 From the East we move to the West where her figure appears in Latin texts and a previously unpublished Arabic version of the 'Acts of Paul and Thecla'.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--

Abstract

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.
