Reception of Philo of Alexandria

Philo of Alexandria was a Jewish statesman, philosopher, and religious thinker. A significant amount of his literary corpus was preserved by Christian hands and thereby came to resource numerous theologians in the Christian tradition. After passing into obscurity in Jewish circles in antiquity, Philo was rediscovered in the Italian Renaissance and came to feature in Jewish tradition once again. Philo's works straddle an interest in exegesis and philosophy, and the multi-faceted contents of his thought ensured a long history of reception among readers with their own agendas. This authoritative and systematic collection of essays by an international team of experts surveys Philo's reception from the time of his immediate contemporaries to the present day. The book unfolds over six sections: the first centuries, late antiquity, the middle ages, the renaissance and early modern period, from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries, and contemporary perspectives.

Acting Gods, Playing Heroes, and the Interaction between Judaism, Christianity, and Greek Drama in the Early Common Era

While many ancient Jewish and Christian leaders voiced opposition to Greek and Roman theater, this volume demonstrates that by the time the public performance of classical drama ceased at the end of antiquity the ideals of Jews and Christians had already been shaped by it in profound and lasting ways.
Readers are invited to explore how gods and heroes famous from Greek drama animated the imaginations of ancient individuals and communities as they articulated and reinvented their religious visions for a new era. In this study, Friesen demonstrates that Greek theater’s influence is evident within Jewish and Christian intellectual formulations, narrative constructions, and practices of ritual and liturgy. Through a series of interrelated case studies, the book examines how particular plays, through texts and performances, scenes, images, and heroic personae, retained appeal for Jewish and Christian communities across antiquity. The volume takes an interdisciplinary approach involving classical, Jewish, and Christian studies, and brings together these separate avenues of scholarship to produce fresh insights and a reevaluation of theatrical drama in relation to ancient Judaism and Christianity.
Acting Gods, Playing Heroes, and the Interaction between Judaism, Christianity, and Greek Drama in the Early Common Era allows students and scholars of the diverse and evolving religious landscapes of antiquity to gain fresh perspectives on the interplay between the gods and heroes—both human and divine—of Greeks and Romans, Jews and Christians as they were staged in drama and depicted in literature.

The humanities offer insights into the highest (and lowest) capabilities of our own natures and, at their best, they function as prophetic champions of human dignity and as inspired celebrants of beauty. Envisioning God in the Humanities pays tribute to the career of Melissa Harl Sellew, a scholar and teacher who embodies the ideals of these academic disciplines. The collaboration of these essays attests to the potentialities for transcendence that emerge from rigorous and collective reflection on the texts, images, and ideas produced in ancient societies. Taking its cue from Professor Sellew''s own distinguished scholarship, this collection of studies begins with analyses of the New Testament Gospels, then moves more broadly toward the religious life of the ancient world as attested both in literature and materiality, among Jews and Christians, Greeks and Romans. Just as Sellew has done throughout her career, so this volume invites us into to the joy of exploring distant societies and, in so doing, into the fuller discovery of one''s own self.

Euripides' Bacchae and the Cultural Contestations of Greeks, Jews, Romans, and Christians

Courtney J. P. Friesen untersucht die Grenzverschiebungen der antiken Religionen anhand der Rezeption einer beliebten Tragödie, Euripides' Bakchen. Das Stück behandelt politische Krisen, die durch die Ankunft des "fremden" Gottes Dionysos und seines ekstatischen Kults provoziert werden, was von Publikum und Lesern als Hinweise auf ihre je eigenen kulturellen Kontexte verstanden wurde. Der Gott des Dramas wurde ein Sinnbild für ausgelassene und befreiende Spiritualität und, zur gleichen Zeit, ein Symbol für Eroberung. Daher heben Rezeptionen der Bakchen häufig Konflikte zwischen religiöser Unabhängigkeit und politischer Autorität hervor, sowie zwischen ethnischer Vielfalt und sozialem Zusammenhalt. Diese interdisziplinäre Studie spürt Aneignungen des Dramas und Anspielungen darauf zwischen dem fünften Jahrhundert v. Chr. und byzantinischer Zeit nach, nicht nur durch "Heiden", sondern auch durch Juden und Christen. Schriftsteller schärften auf verschiedene Weise ihre religiösen Vorstellungen in Abgrenzung zu Dionysos, während sie oftmals paradoxerweise die Sprache und Symbolik des Gottes annahmen. Folglich sind Imitation und Nachahmung zeitweise nicht von Polemik und Subversion zu unterscheiden.Diese Arbeit wurde mit dem Manfred Lautenschlaeger Award for Theological Promise 2016 ausgezeichnet.
